Happy Birthday

Words do not even sums up what I really wanted to say here. Today is a very special day to someone that is very Dear to my heart! I really had no idea what to give to this person as a birthday gift that will mean to her more than anything else. And I thought of this one thing that she will never expect coming from me. So I contacted her very good friend Miguel Rivera and ask for his help to make me a one of kind BSG artwork that only him can do since they are good friends of many years. I have watch Miguel and her do phenomenal work on Battlestar Aries. The two of them are one hell of a team together on the Aries in my humble opinion. So without further ado, I would like to present the following phenomenal artwork done by Miguel Rivera per my request to him, to none other than this special woman. My significant half, DragonLady. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY DEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!: I love you!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The significance of the artwork relayed to me by Miguel are as follows:

- The back ground was kept lively in order to honor her sensibility while complimenting her bright personality.

-The shields in the corners carefully noted are in the same shape of "Superman S" to denote her hard work and integrity. That is the same frame shape that is used on Battlestar Galactica, where all the papers and frame the corners are removed

- He also place the Phoenix logo not only because it looks cool, but most importantly she represent what a Colonial Warrior embodies. Makes him very proud that she has come along way and still learning. But then as we all are.

-The binary numbers represent the ships computers and diagnostic in engineering.

-Next, he included parts of the Galactica hull as a token of good faith as she is a fan like many people out there.

- Lastly and faithfully, he placed two crossed wrenches because you are his Engineer and a good friend of many years.

It was a great honor for him to render this art in her honor of her birthday.

I do not know what to really say here because I am lost for words. This is very beautiful!!!!!!!!! My Dear, I love this very much. I cannot believe you actually thought of this. This is really a SHOCKER!!!!!! I mean,you are not even a scifi fan for frak sake!! You know, I love this out of all the present you gave me. Don't get me wrong, I love the other ones too. It is just that this is a product of love and hard work put into this artwork. I should know because everytime I make a logo or any type of artwork, I put a lot of time and work into it to get it to come out the way I want to capture what I envisioned in my mind. All I can say is THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART!!!!!!! And you are still a pain in the butt!!!! :-) :-)

And to you Miguel, I do not know how he got you to help him on this but thank you so very much as well! As always, your artwork my friend is always top notch. I have learned a lot from you during our times working together on the Aries late at night. I miss those times because I remember there were times you will overload the old computer I have the Aries file saved on as we exchange files on yahoo. But what I miss the most is those times we all do gatherings or attending conventions as a Chapter and doing role play on the forum board. The imaginations were at work and that brought a lot of fun and laughter. :-) Of course, our friendship has also gone through some of the toughest and roughest patch because of situations beyond both of our control. But that is all behind us. And our friendship survived and healed through time. I believe things happens for a reason always and because of what had happened, the friendship between us grew and matured in time. As for me, I took that experience as a hard lessoned learned and know what to do and not to do next time around. I think because of that experience, I have given myself the ability to handle those kind of things and situations much better. I mean compared to all of you, I still consider myself a rookie that is still learning. But I am learning fast. You have been a very good friend to me and a mentor on and off the Aries. Thank you for this wonderful artwork. I will cherish this forever! Take care my friend!

Happy Birthday Cherry!!

I was very honored to be asked to help out. When i found out it was for your birthday i placed all other items on hold in order to do my best to capture. What you embody as a fellow BSG fan it is my hope that i captured that very essence. Be safe and thank you. Now go celebrate!!

On a different note thank you Sir for asking for my assistance a worthwhile project indeed. Be safe and enjoy a life time of wonderfulness. God Bless, Miguel.
