Whoa there! This flew beneath our radar… so it’s time to catch up! As of course you’ve heard (herd?), My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic will be leaving us after this season. (Sniff…) But do not lose hope! It looks like Equestria shall live on… in the pages of IDW comics anyhow.  And they’ve been doing a good job of it so far! Now they’ve decided to celebrate the 75th issue of their flagship series My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic with a special double-sized issue — celebrating the return of original MLP comic writer Katie Cook to the family. “My Little Pony celebrates 75 issues of friendship and fun with this double-sized adventure! When a chance purchase leads to a legendary quest for a missing constellation, the ponies reach for the stars and find themselves in the path of their most galactic villain yet… the chaotic Cosmos!” Illustrated by fan favorites Andy Price and Heather Breckel, it’s on the shelves now. And hey, while you’re at it, make sure to look for My Little Pony: To Where and Back Again, written by Justin Eisinger and illustrated by various artists. It’s part of a new series of trade paperback graphic novels from IDW, illustrating favorite episodes of the TV series — in this case, the popular finale of Season Six.

Remember: The only way to win a cat fight is to pretend you don't care and wash. Bravo to Elizabeth Fijalkowski for her Graduation film! "When two cats face off in a chance encounter, the skirmish spirals into an overdramatic montage of fight scene parodies. Animation graduate short film directed by Elizabeth Fijalkowski."

80 students this year in the Masterclass in Computer Graphics and 3D animation [1] class at Big Rock school [2] in Italy produced this cute and beautiful animated short. I do have questions ... Like is he using that very unnerving powder of life from the OZ books? What does the green vial do?? I think I have all the questions.

Just recently, Ash Coyote has tweeted that the production team behind furry documentary series The Fandom is “doing a cutdown of season 1 for broadcast”. She cited American broadcaster PBS as one of the broadcasters that the team hopes to get the documentary on. There are a lot of furry documentaries that have attempted to […]

Love the art style and the message isn't bad either. The marketing firm Golazo does appear to have a mission [1] of getting people to move about more and that's not a bad idea and I say use more furs in their ads.  (Though I'll stick to moving with stuff like Beat Saber [2] instead of outright sports) "Golazo [3]is a sports marketing agency specializing in organizing events and promoting a healthy lifestyle through sports. The client's aims to encourage people to do sports for 30 minutes a day, under the campaign's slogan: let's move. Initially, we were given the task to develop an image of a brand hero who would do simple exercises like walking, running, or cycling. The idea, however, evolved and we offered the client a whole universe of forest characters, each of whom is involved in practicing sports in their own way. It's hard not to like it!"

As most of you are now aware, we began having a technical issue with persons being unable to access the FWG forums. It is thought that this stemmed from the host’s firewall wrongly banning certain IP addresses. It was found that some could regain access by clearing their browser cache, however, some members still find themselves locked out even after attempting this.

As it stands, the old FWG forums are no longer functional and will have to be abandoned. While this is an inconvenience, the fact is that the forums were already on borrowed time. Come November, we were going to lose hosting for them and, owing to their outdated architecture, they cannot simply be moved elsewhere.

The FWG staff had been discussing this next phase, but these recent problems have forced us to advance the timetable. We would like you, the FWG membership, to share your thoughts on this transition. Do we attempt to recreate the forums from scratch? Although they had been declining in usage for years, they still had utility as a sort of database. Would something more stripped-down suffice for our purposes? Or should we forgo them altogether? Let us know.

Recently made a trip to the Ground Zero Animation Expo in Orange County, CA (which we highly recommend if you’re an artist in Southern California, by the way!). There we met Beth Hughes, a character designer and freelance illustrator. “I love telling stories and using my art to get those stories out. My work credits include children’s books, mural designs, and concept art and character design work for various animation companies.” Those companies include places like Nick Jr., Gamesys, and McGraw-Hill Education. Visit her web site to see her resume and lots of her previous illustrations too. And keep an eye out for her new on-line store, coming soon!

We got here a graduate film from a Warrior Cats MAP animator who was at the Arts University Bournemouth. ...music like so many things just work better with others. "An independent musician seeks out a constellation, but discovers he can’t do so alone."

The Puppetry Institute of Santa Cruz is the impressive name of a California facility that believe in “…giving all who walk through the doors a chance to experience first hand the beauty and wonder of an art form that encompasses all the other arts into one.” No prizes for guessing: They’re located in Santa Cruz, at the Capitola Mall, “Just around the corner from the Santa Cruz Museum of Discovery”.  But they also get out and about to various conventions and fannish events — we found them at BLFC! According to their web site, they give adults, kids, and families a chance to “Explore puppetry through workshops, classes, and demonstrations. Puppetry is more then just a sock with googly eyes — it’s design, construction, movement, masks, sewing — the list goes on. We offer a wide variety of classes in puppetry, theater, and FX skills, that cannot only be counted as art credits but also math, science, and engineering. We have 1000 sq ft space where students can learn in a lively and creative environment; or, we can do 1 and 2 hr pop-up classes at a location of your choosing.” The sight includes a lot of photos of their projects past and present. (Be sure to ask them about the “Dragon Petting Zoo”!)

On June 19, 2019, Pine Fur Con had announced that they were pulling the plug on the convention due to a lack of funding. Hi everyone, I have some news about PFC. Unfortunately, even with how successful PFC was these past two years, I have to regretfully inform you that PFC is coming to an […]

Happy Pride Month! Gab Shiba is a humorous slice-of-life on-line comic (decidedly Adults Only at times, but not always) that we came across at BLFC this year. It’s written by Cross and illustrated in a manga-style by Zurdo. On their web site, they say this: “It’s a furry openly gay webcomic that tells the story of 3 dogs and their friends, being GAB (The Protagonist), a cute shiba inu, lover of hot guys and sweet moments; and his roomies, WANG, a geek Chow Chow who is a programmer; and BAU, a Husky very musky. They live in the big city, where we show their misadventures and weird experiences, where we all can relate.” Interestingly, the comic is mostly dialogue-free, so it’s readable most anywhere in the world. They have tie-in merchandise they’ve been selling at conventions, and their on-line store is set to open soon.
