How to juggle MLP art and non-MLP art?

[Autumn Ink 35]

I have an online presence outside of MLP where I use another name to sign various artwork. I'm trying to decide if I should separate my MLP work from my regular work. It's not a matter of hiding my interest in MLP, but I am building a portfolio in the hopes of gaining commissions and professional work.

I'm also trying to decide which name to use for signing my MLP work: ponysona name or my regular name?

How do other MLP artists approach this?

I think keeping fandom art separate from portfolio art is a good way to go.
