It is with great pleasure we announce that Equestria LA will be hosting the fantastic Katrina Hadley. Katrina is known for her current work as the Co-Director of the Equestria Girls specials. She was also the Storyboard Supervisor for Equestria Girls Friendship Games.

Art Auction for Jenn Blake
My Little Pony comic book artist Jenn Blake holds a special place in the hearts of the Equestria LA staff. Not only has she been a lovely guest at our convention, but she is also someone many of us call a friend. As many of you know Jenn is being treated for cancer, and some days are harder for her than others. The medical bills are still racking up, and heck, she still needs to feed her cat!
Jenn, out of the goodness of her (as she tells it, black) heart, created quite a bit of complimentary art for Equestria LA 2015, some of it never seen by the public. As a thank you for her generosity (no wonder she likes Rarity!) we had some of it printed in limited edition sizes and are auctioning it off, with 100% of the proceeds going back to Jenn. All of it is signed by at least Jenn, if not also by the actor for the character displayed.
We hope that our meager show of appreciation can help brighten some of her future days. Please help us make sure Jenn feels the love! Bid now!
The auction is on eBay, and can be found here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/-/
