Artist note:

Two of the most enlightening panels from last weekends EQLA had the creator of Friendship is Magic, Lauren Faust. First was the MLP Creators Panel on Friday when Lauren Faust took the stage with Bonnie Zacherle the original creator of My Little Pony. It was the first time they had done a panel together and it was great watch as two expressed their appreciation for each others accomplishments. I did this sketch during the panel.

The second panel with Lauren was on Saturday. An Interview with Lauren Faust. M.A. Larson sat with her and for one hour he discuss the early days of FIM and trials and tribulations they went through to bring this amazing show to life. Then M.A. asked on last question and a bombshell went off. I won’t attempt to recap it all. All I’ll say is read this article on Equestria Daily in particular read the full summary. This is why I will be taking time out of my schedule to do a piece for this. The response from the audience gathered in the hall was nothing short of amazing and love we expressed for this lady and her accomplishments was obvious to all gathered.
