Week 331 Wrap Up

It's that time of the week again! And this week, we've been celebrating the greatest of all super-spies! You know who it is, that suave and sophisticated stallion who seems to get all the mares. The one with all the high tech spy gadgets hidden inside ordinary items, like quills and sofas. The one who loves his cider shaken, not stirred. The one and only...

Wait, bonds of friendship? That's the theme, not spies? Oops. Well, that would explain the lack of actual pictures of him in the gallery. I must admit that is a better explanation than 'everypony drew him in such impressive disguises that he looks like a completely different pony in every picture'. But at any rate, it is time to open up the Gallery to you all, including any spies that might be in your midst. Because I wouldn't be able to tell anyways.

Week 330 Wrap Up

When the moon hits your eye,
Like a big pizza pie,
That's amore!


You know, that song never really made sense to me. Seriously, what does pizza have to do with eels?

Well anyways, I hope you all like pie, because that has been the theme for this week. Apple pies, pumpkin pies, blueberry pies, pizza pies, and yes, Pinkie Pies. Especially Pinkie Pies. So many Pinkie Pies; it's like somepony unsealed the Mirror Pond or something. You know, somepony should introduce Marble Pie to the Mirror Pond. There could never be too many Marble Pies.

But I'm getting off track here. The time has come to open up the Gallery. And as an added bonus, we've got some special edible treats for you to enjoy in addition to the artwork. What kind of treats, you ask?

Well, cake of course!

Week 329 Wrap Up

Ah, relaxing. Sometimes you just gotta take a load off, especially after a tiring day at work. Life just wouldn't be bearable without time to rest. Time to give your weary bones a break. Time to...

Bleh, I fear I'm about to fall asleep, so let's get the Gallery open before that happens. Hopefully the strongly sedate vibes from this week's creations won't put you to sleep as well. Unless you want to fall asleep, in which case they hopefully will.

Week 328 Wrap Up

Hello, and welcome again to the Gallery. I had planned on setting up an obstacle course in the entryway, for our visitors to travers in order to reach the displays, but my co-managers nixed the idea. Apparently, they felt it was too much of a risk to our visitors, though I disagree with that myself. Seriously, it was just a little pit trap; the nurses would've fixed the fallen up right fast!

But I ingest... err, digress. I may or may not be hungry, but that's an obstacle I'll need to overcome with later. Right now, it's time to properly open the Gallery to you all! And don't worry, I did close off that pit trap just inside the entrance... I think. Being hungry makes it difficult to remember things.

Week 327 Wrap Up

Cloud of smoke and he appears,
Master of surprise.
Who's that cunning mind behind
That shadowy disguise?
Nobody knows for sure,
But bad guys are out of luck.
'Cause here comes
... who was it again? Dangit, I forgot which masked hero this theme song represents. Bleh.

At any rate, masks and disguises are the theme this week. Such things are often worn by heroes, to protect their identities (and by extension their loved ones) and/or to strike fear into the hearts of the villains they oppose. But heroes aren't the only ones who wear such things. Indeed, their villainous adversaries often wear disguises of their own, to avoid implication in the crimes they commit. Disguises are also commonplace among both noble and ignoble spies, and which spies are the noble ones depends entirely on which side you ask. And masks are often worn by medical professionals, to minimize the spread of germs and viruses.

But that's enough monologuing for one night. It's time to turn our attention to this week's artwork. And I would recommend removing any masks you might be wearing before viewing said artwork, as masks tend to inhibit a pony's vision.

Week 326 Wrap Up

Are you part of the in-crowd? Are any of us part of the in-crowd? Indeed, fashion changes so fast that sometimes I wonder if even the in-crowd is part of the in-crowd. What the fashion magazines call trendy may very well be passé by the time you get to the local tailor. Or the local hairdresser, if the magazine is discussing mane styles rather than clothing styles.

Of course, art is not exempt from the whims of trendsetters, with different painting styles gaining and losing favor over the course of time. Impressionism, surrealism, post-modernism and a whole lot of other -isms have had their time to shine. And like all fashion trends, they still have their adherents even now. So let's take a look at this week's creations, and see what trends the artists are following right now, or what new trends they may be trying to set.

Week 325 Wrap Up

Once upon a time, a long, long time ago, on a dark... wait, didn't I do this two weeks ago?

*Ahem.* In the begging, there was darkness. Then Celestia said, "Let there be light!" Err, wait. Didn't the unicorn tribes control the sun before Celestia first appeared? She may raise the sun, but she didn't actually create it or anything. Hmm...

In A.C. 2101, war was begi- actually, let's not reference that. 'Legendarily bad' technically does qualify as 'Legendary', but it's still bad.

Bleh. Writing a legend isn't at all easy. Maybe I should just stick with the classic legendary tales instead of trying to invent one. In the mean time, let's see what other creators have created this week. Perhaps they've had better results than I have.
