An Upscale Pony Custom Show

by gus andrews, concerning the matter of Ponies

My Little Pony customization has long been the province of trekkies, cosplayers, fanfic writers, and other assorted fangirls. And yet somehow, seemingly unaware of this widespread phenomenon, a New York City art show devoted to My Little Pony customs has sprung up. Remodellers include famous fashion labels like Paul Frank and Betsey Johnson, as well as grafitti artists. Exhibits range from ponies which resemble the wildest dreams of custom artists themselves, to ponies which walk the line of custom-community acceptability; some which seem to aspire to "higher" art forms; and some more conceptual works, some of which are intentionally creepy.
