Happy #kidlitartpostcard day! This one is inspired by Puerto Rican heritage and learning family traditions (in this case, plena dancing!) I would love to work on another Latinx picture book for my next project. I’m repped by @litagentsaritza.bsky.social at ABLA, more art @ cindylozito.com

Cartoon illustration showing a classroom display titled “Our Favourite Picture Book” with drawings of a cat character. The text on the poster reads “By John Writer. Our class has drawn his character!” Two children say, “We love John Writer!” and “His cats are so cute!” Beside the display, a woman labeled “Jane Illustrator, feeling miffed” thinks, “But… John Writer didn’t decide how this character would look… I did!” Caption at the bottom reads “#PicturesMeanBusiness Sarah McIntyre.”

I designed and helped paint a giant mural for an urban farm in North Philly this summer, so naturally I had to make a #kidlitart piece inspired by farming in cities, too! #kidlitpostcard

Comic book writers are lovely, creative, collaborative people! With great vision! But I cannot stress enough these projects cannot exist without artistic skill and visual narrative practice bringing the story to life. And time. It takes time. It takes more hours of an artist's life to create a book.
