The one person that had the most effect on my art was my mother,who was an artist for the Saturday Evening Post in Washington D.C back in the thirdies and forties.Second was my ninth grade teacher who kept telling me I had a talent for art,so naturally I became an electrican for thirdy years than changed over to be a draftsman,as I am today.Before trying 3D art I did a lot of oil and ink art work on the side.I am just learning how to use Bryce4 and 3D studio,I see a great furture for those of us that truely enjoy this form of art.It has endless possiblities.Third are the people such as all of you that do 3d art so very well.Not only here at Renderosity but on so many other art sites.Here I give my thanks for everyone such as Verdie,who was first to help me with hints,then Bonestruture,Digital&Sparky,Lon Chaney,just so many helpful and talent people I glad I am a small part of.
