Sarah McIntyre
Sarah first captivated young readers and revolted parents with her
illustrations to Morris the Mankiest Monster, a story by Giles Andreae
which defied all expectations after 12 years of being turned down by 15
editors and refused by 10 publishers. She then turned her picture book
skills to making comics and charmed both children and adults with the
madcap antics of best friends Vern and Lettuce, a sheep and a rabbit who
live in a tower block in a neighbourhood very much like Sarah's own
patch in south London.
Born in Seattle in the USA, Sarah
studied Russian literature at Bryn Mawr College. She worked at a
newspaper in Moscow, moved to London and ran an art gallery with friends
in Camberwell, then went on to study Illustration at Camberwell College
of the Arts, where David Fickling discovered her, halfway through her
course.
While Sarah is currently crafting several picture books
with David Fickling Books, she loves being part of the small-press comics scene, where
she gets to see fresh material being assembled by people with only a
printer and a stapler. She would love to see more children
self-publishing their own comics this way.
Mixing with other comics
creators gives a tremendous boost to Sarah's work, and she's very proud
to have been a member of the original team that created the DFC, a
weekly comics magazine. In that hugely talented group, she met some of
her best friends... and some of them weren't even imaginary.
She
now shares a studio with three friends in an old police station in
Deptford, south London (complete with cells!). They call it The Fleece
Station, since the original three members all met while drawing comics
about sheep.
