Publishers & authors! When talking about an illustrated book, please CREDIT THE ILLUSTRATOR. If you are using an illustrator's work to promote a book, CREDIT THE ILLUSTRATOR. #PicturesMeanBusinessPictures Mean Business website for more info)

This goes for cover art for your CB, MG or YA, too, especially since the cover artist is very rarely credited anywhere else.

Crediting the illustrator is ESPECIALLY important during this time, when more are using AI-generated art instead of hiring artists. Proper credit not only helps illustrator but also shows the world you are supporting HUMAN ILLUSTRATORS. Art by @sarahmcintyre.bsky.social#PicturesMeanBusiness
