Why this piece is awesome: I love this trio and was delighted to come across art for them! The poses in this piece are great: Vidalia is too cool for school, Greg is adorable in an "aw, shucks" kind of way, and Amethyst is doing such a good job of standing still and is no doubt 0.04 seconds away from exploding across the screen. :)

Why this piece is awesome: Fascinating glimpse at an AU Pearl (who I believe is meant to be the creator of the artwork behind her — at full size you can just about read the tag under the picture). The colors and Pearl's expression are great, and I love how different this is from all the other SU art I've encountered.
