      <title>My Little Retro Pony by Kitsumi</title>
      <description>80's sundry, equines, gadzooks! Unfortunately, I didn't have the time to make an info sheet to go with this when I put it in the FC Art show.. Big thanks to Ponygirl for the scan.

Left to Right:
Captain, onager (a type of Asiatic ass- That's the EO logo on his butt)
Koosh, burro
Orange Blossum, Przewalski's horse
Barcode, generic Plains zebra (the barcode was invented some time in the late 70's, but became widely used in the 80's.. fancy that :O)
BetaMax, quagga

Gouache and color pencil, my first go with this kind of mixed media.. took a bit longer than I would've liked, but for retro ponies I'll spare all the time in the world.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://kitsumi.artspots.com/image/898/my-little-retro-pony"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.artspots.com/files/image/file/898/thumb_210/retropony.jpg" alt="Thumbnail" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Medium: Gouache, color pencil, inks&lt;br /&gt;Tags: and zebra retro 80's my little pony Captain EO koosh barcode 3D quagga happiness sunshine&lt;br /&gt;</description>

      <title>Acrylic Exercise: Black-footed ferret by Kitsumi</title>
      <description>I had the awesome opportunity of meeting children's book illustrator Jim LaMarche, and he demonstrated his mixed media (acrylic washes with color pencil on top) technique for us. I really adore the soft lighting and gorgeous colors from his renderings. After our professional illustrator demos, our homework assignment for the week would be to make a small illustration with the technique of said featured artist. Grahaha, I even managed to scope out his paints while he was working and got most of the colors in his palette XP But anyway.. I give you Mr. Ferret. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://kitsumi.artspots.com/image/829/acrylic-exercise-black-footed-ferret"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.artspots.com/files/image/file/829/thumb_210/Ferrety.jpg" alt="Thumbnail" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Medium: Acrylic, color pencil&lt;br /&gt;Tags: sunset ferret Mr. mustelid grass what's for dinner?&lt;br /&gt;</description>

      <title>Horses of Distinction by Kitsumi</title>
      <description>Part 2 of a 2 part painting, though it might be some time before I complete the first segment. I painted this about a year ago for my science illustration class. Both pieces feature current horse species in the world (or an approximation there of.. sans subspecies and such), and are ordered in terms of their endangerment status. Since then, the Prezwalski's horse (not shown) has been reintroduced to the wild and is flourishing, so both piece's accuracy are probably no longer current. Acrylic with some color pencil.

Common names, left to right: Mountain Zebra (endangered), Grevy's (endangered), Onager, Asiatic Ass (threatened? Sorry I don'&#8364;&#8482;t have the info in front of me), and Plains Zebra (common)

He drew Mr. Brian chasing a squirrel out of the house (which was really happening to him at the time, though no brooms were involved :P), a penguin with weapons, bottomost hedgehog, and me when I went to get some fruit.
