The Illustrator

Exotic words and phrases,
I always take the bait,
I am the illustrator,
My job is to create .
Through my hands my fingers,
I give life to what has not,
The skills that I do now possess,
Are not things that can be taught.
My brushes and my pencils,
Though guided by my hands,
Are lead by all you story's
Through all your fearsome lands.
So write a little story,
Or something of the kind,
You'll never see me come or go,
Just pictures you will find.
