Howdy there, friend!
We're here today to wish you a happy birthday!
I'm so excited to do this! Rarity told me how fun it can be!
Dash said how important it is for us to greet our friends in the other world! It's an honour!
Focus, girls, remember how we practiced it...
inhale
We wish you all the best on this occasion! May you have lots of happy times and good things come your way!
And we wish you'll be able to do your best for yourself too! And, and...
And stay in good health and high spirits all the time! And believe in yourself and who you are!
An' also we wish you great friendship and to have your nearest an' dearest with you to share in the good and deal with anything bad together!
So on behalf of all Equestria we wish you...
Happy Birthday!
We did it, girls.
Now let's all celebrate! Cue the music, Scoots!

A very good day to you, human. I come to you on your day of birth with greetings... and thanks.
My good subject Pinkie Pie told me she had taken to congratulating some humans on their birthdays, but even she has her limits. So she asked us for a bit of assistance... and for such friends of ponykind, we feel it right to provide it.
It is thanks to people like you that our land of Equestria, our very world, exists like it does. It is your friendship with us that gave us life. For that, we will forever be grateful and cherish you.
And so, allow me to wish you happiness, peace, prosperity and fulfillment! My hope goes with you that you suffer no hardship in the year ahead, but should a challenge befall you, I am certain your courage and skill will see you rise to conquer it!
Now... where is she...
Here, sister!
Fashionably late, I see! But just in time for the greetings to be given.
Right! I'm ready. Three, two, one...
Happy Birthday!
And now... let us commence the royal party.

Haaaaaaappy happy birthday to our good friend today!
Here's a little birthday song with something I must say!
On this day we celebrate having you with us!
Throw a party here for you I'll make sure is a blast!
I wish you only happiness, that your life's full of smiles!
That you and your friends will prevail in any troubling times!
Most of all, I wish for you that you'll have lots of fun!
And share it with all close to you, spread happiness around!
OR ELSE!
So let's get down to business now, there'll be no more delays!
On to the birthday party, celebrate this joyous daaaaay!

Yay! We're here, everypony!
Phew, that wasn't long. I told you we could easily make it on hoof!
Speak for yourself, Twi, you didn't have to carry this cake! It's heavy, you know!
Thank you for helping out, Dashie! I couldn't have settled for anything less, after all!
Hi... We're here to... wish you a happy birthday.
You said it! Happy birthday !
And what better way to say "happy birthday" than with a cake?
Why, with a real Apple family apple pie, of course!
With a muffin! Yay!
But these, while pleasant to give, mean little by themselves...
What makes them meaningful are our wishes for you!
Exactly! And we wish for you to have a perfect birthday and a great year ahead of you!
Don't fear any challenges you might face! No matter how bad it may seem, have faith in yourself and keep on being awesome!
And while at it, keep a level head and don't lose sight of what's important! Keep the magic of friendship alive in yourself!
Remember your loved ones and friends, an' don't let little things an' worries get you down!
We hope that you'll find all you seek and be the best you can be!
Don't forget to respect yourself! You're the best at being you, so stay true to what you really are!
And we hope that you'll be at peace with yourself, too... and that the year ahead will be peaceful for you.
And throughout all that, have fun! It isn't fun if you don't have any, after all, and fun it should be!
Just like today! Party on!

Happy birthday! Thanks for all of the art. I still have a poster hanging up here that I got from you years ago at a con.
π: 0 β©: 0
Found an old business card of yours from like 5 years or 6 years ago.
Not really part of the pony fandom anymore, but I still love the way your art looks.
Pretty cool to find you again.

Hey! Thanks for stopping by! I haven't kept up with mlp either for a bit since my job keeps me remote during the summertime, but I'm hoping to upload some new landscapes soon this year.

Hello,Β
I was just wondering if I could use one of your works as the cover art for a fanfic I plan on writing. If I am given permission from you, I promise that I will not forget to credit you for your work. As a heads-up, I want to let you know that the fanfic will be explicit and will contain a lot of sexual material --- in case you're not a big fan of that. This is the drawing that I would like to use:

Have a good day!

Sorry this is a late reply, feel free to use ponyville with credit for your cover art. Good luck with the writing!

Your work is truly beautiful. I don't know how many I clicked fav for before I hit the follow button, but it was a lot. xD
Oil paints are something I have yet to try, but this is inspiring me to go out and buy some.
π: 0 β©: 1
Thanks! Oils are messy but keep texture and color well, I highly advise giving them a shot! Plan on making something with only a few colors to start,a full set of colors can be pricey. For me essential colors are a big tube of white for mixing and priming, and small tubes of lamp or Mars black, cadmium and cobalt blue, cadmium yellow or yellow light, yellow ochre, burnt sienna and gumbracher red as my mixing and primary colors. Past these you just need to pick up any color that the painting has a lot of. Such as purple and orange for sunsets or greens for plants and forest.
π: 0 β©: 1
I usually mix my own colours, so having only the three primaries is usually all I need. That, and black and white of course. I definitely will one day. In fact I think my dad actually has a set he never uses anymore. I'll have to go digging in the parent's basement for it. lol

Weeee! Today's the day, everypony!
Pinkie, do we have to teleport in like that every time?
Of course, silly! Else it wouldn't be a proper birthday greeting!
Ahem...
Happy birthday !
And it wouldn't be a proper birthday if Ah didn't bring y'all an apple pie, baked by yours truly!
Let us all give you our best wishes on this occasion and wish you a wonderful year!
I hope that you will not run into any trouble this year and that everything will be as good as it can possibly be.
Don't forget that you're awesome! And that we're all your friends! Keep on rockin'!
Always keep the magic of friendship within you. May it bring you as much joy as it brings us!
And don't ever feel like you're useless or unworthy! Only you have what it takes to live your life, so don't let anyone or anything else get you down!
And of course, don't forget to have fun while at it! And speaking of fun...
It's time to party !
...
And as an added note, I still use your pictures of your fine pony works as backgrounds on my devices! Thank you kindly, good sir, and I wish you luck in your pursuits.

HA! I think you've done this four years in a row and I still forget to brace for it! Thank you so much, and I still love the apple pie!

Aww, thank you! I'm very happy to hear that you like it. I can only reiterate my best wishes!

hey thanks! I'm doing great though haven't been painting much, its hard to lug around an easel in the woods! Here's a two image summary of what I've been up toΒ imgur.com/a/ejv9K
I hope you're doing well as well!Β

Happy Birthday! (A little early, but I didn't want to miss it.) Β I still have a lovely poster print of "My World" hanging in my bedroom (that I picked up at BronyCon).
I see that you haven't posted to dA in a while. Β Do you have another website?
Also, the big question: will you be attending BronyCon again? Β
Thanks for everything.
π: 0 β©: 1
I won't be at Bronycon this year, I haven't been actively painting, if I post more it will be here. Thanks for the birthday wishes and I'm glad you still have the print! Say hi to Tsitra for me at Bronycon!
π: 0 β©: 1
Thanks for the info. Β Just out of curiosity, do you sell your original paintings? Β If so, is there a preferred method that you use (i.e., conventions, eBay, etc.)?
I've never met Tsitra360 (c'mon, the vendor hall is huge!), but I will make sure to hunt down his/her/its stall to say hello. Β
π: 0 β©: 2
oh yea and I still have your challenge coin!
π: 0 β©: 1
Excellent. Β Glad to hear it. Β I always kinda wonder what people end up doing with those. Β If it wasn't for my work, I don't know what I would do with one if someone handed a coin to me.
π: 0 β©: 0
I sold most of my original paintings in conventions, I've sold a few since then all through word of mouth. Half of the year I'm not able to get internet reliably these days and so commissions or running an Etsy shop are a bit dangerous to take. I do still have Dashing through Cloudsdale though and Ponyville should still be in the Traveling Pony Museum.
Tsitra is a cool dude who loves a good (bad) pun! and he also makes awesome arts!

Over here, everypony! My Pinkie sense is telling me they're here!
Hi! Pinkie Pie invited us all to her friend's birthday party, and...
And that friend is you! Happy birthday !
Ah've brought an apple pie along for you, sugarcube!
And I, speaking for all of us, wish you all the best in your life and all your endeavours!
I hope that you'll have a wonderful time and that trouble will pass you by.
And no matter what happens, remember that we'll always be your friends. Stay awesome!
May the magic of friendship and all it contains be ever with you.
And if you ever feel down, don't forget that that you're the hero of your life's story, and no-one else can be better at it than you!
Now come on, you all, it's time to start the party for real!

It has been a while, I'll make more when I've got a place to do it again.
