Jess Rosemary & Lyn Fletcher
Sitting beside the sculptors were Jess Rosemary and Lyn Fletcher.
Jess was the licensing representative of Hasbro. She is the one who does the Licensing Show stuff, and in her hand is a Licensing Show Pinkie Pie who is her darling favourite. She was very friendly and had licensing guideline samples for us to flip through. I forgot to take a picture of the books she had, but anyone who has a picture of those, pls share! Jess is also somewhat Lyn's "boss" as she represents Hasbro in liasing with Harper Colins in the production of G3 storybooks.
Lyn Fletcher, in case no one has any idea, is one of the artists drawing for G3 storybooks commissioned by Harper Collins. G3 storybook illustrations have been done by several artists, but Lyn's style is always easily distinguished from the rest. Her ponies always have beautifully drawn hair with elaborate curls and soft & rounded facial features that reminds you of a perfect cherubin baby with fair skin, sparkly blue eyes and perfect blonde curls. To top that off is Lyn's signature trademak of always giving her ponies cheekblushes. When I talked to Lyn and Jess, Lyn jokingly expressed that Jess didn't like the cheekblushes, but I could tell from Lyn's satisfied facial expression that at least someone appreciates the details she puts into the G3 ponies. I completely enjoy her illustrations and only collect G3 books done by her, and wish that she can continue to do so as she brings on the innocence to G3 ponies that were so reminiscent of G1s.
Lynn told me that Harper Colin might be moving her from My Little Ponies to doing illustrations for Fisher Price instead.
