Silver Band's Custom Ponies 2012-2020
Hello all. Hope you're being safe and healthy out there.
It's been, well, a long while since I posted something on here.
Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end.
My working life, as well as other interests, have made it difficult to focus on making more figures, or keep tabs on what's going on in the Brony fandom as a whole.
So, I've decided to step away from it and move on to focus on other things.
I'll still keep my DeviantArt page up. I don't intend on deleting anything on here so others can still enjoy what I've made.
But I would like to thank each and every one of you for all the support you've given me over the years. From meeting up with me at conventions, commissioning me, every favorite, comment, and watch.
I've still got Twitter, and a YouTube channel now, if you wish to follow me there. I'll still be around.
Until we meet again.

TrotCon...I Nearly Forgot!
For my only convention of the year, I'll be returning to my home town convention, TrotCon! I'll be at Table 40 in the vendor hall.
I will warn you ahead of time that the variety is rather sparse, since real life has gotten completely in the way. I'll try to make some ponies while I'm at my table as well. And, as always, I'm open for commissions.
TrotCon information can be found here: trotcon.net
Have a good day.

BronyCon Help
I don't necessarily fell comfortable asking for help for fear of being a burden on anyone, but I'd like to throw this out there in case anyone is interested.
I regret to inform you that I was denied a table for BronyCon's Market Place and Artist Alley for this year. Seeing as this is BronyCon's final year, I'd like to be there to see this convention off.
So I'm looking for anyone who would be willing to share a table with me. I will, of course, be willing to pay for my share of the space.
If you or anyone you know are interested, please let me know.
Thank you.
The Future...
I have often said that as long as the Brony fandom exists, and if people want them, I will continue to customize My Little Pony toys. However, as time has gone on, other interests and work have taken over my free time. It was inevitable, as some might say, but I suppose that's how the way things are sometimes.
But I often remember the days when my free time was fully dedicated to customizing figures and showing them on social media, knowing that I was giving back to the fandom in some way. I certainly don't regret it, but it's fairly obvious that I've haven't been as productive as I used to be.
To be quite frank, the spark that I once had that got me active in the fandom has pretty much fizzed out, but not entirely.
With this being said, I regretfully had to cancel my vendor space for Whinny City Pony Con for this year. I try to have a balance between work and free time, but nowadays, work is more important, which has cut into the time I have for making ponies.
Along with that, the amount of free time I do have is now spent with a much older hobby of mine; railway modeling, which is something I always enjoy even before Bronies were even a thing.
But rest assured, my commissions are always open, and I do plan on returning to TrotCon and (knocks on wood) BronyCon for it's grand finale.
Have a good day.
