London-based writer and illustrator Sarah McIntyre burst out of art college in 2007 and tried to run away to sea. Instead, she found herself toiling for long hours over a work desk to create marvellous little books and pictures. Her dream job would put her on a masted ship, climbing the rigging and keeping a fastidious illustrated log of the weird and wonderful plants and animals she encounters on her voyages. In the meantime, she happily roves along London's river bank on her bicycle and pokes around in the mud for shiny objects at low tide.Her picture book work includes illustrating 'Morris the Mankiest Monster' by Giles Andreae, 'You Can't Eat a Princess!' by Gillian Rogerson and 'When Titus Took the Train' by Anne Cottringer. She now has a few book deals up her sleeve to illustrate books she's written herself. She tries to post a drawing or review an event on her blog every day.
