Hi my name is Bill(started here as Primaltruck). I am an old hippy from the santa cruz mountains.I live with my wife and kids Alice and Chris..we also have 2 other kids Jason and leah, that are married and live elswhere..we live in the redwood forest with a spring and waterfall on our property and about 700 2nd growth redwoods..My artwork is definetly inspired by were i live and my family.My daughter(Alice) being a Tatoo artist and wife being my worst critic.she knows me and knows how to tell me when something doesnt look right without getting under my skin..Alice likes all art so she always says good things that help inspire me and i try to do the same for her..if you look at my rendorosity gallery you will see that i had a pretty rough start and took a year or so to get the hang of 3D art as i have always scetched and painted and created..But learning how to deal with something new is always an adventure..and its been a lot of fun and i have made alot of friends along the way.I mostly use Bryce and Poser and Photoshop on a Dell PC..and plan on getting Vue in the near future..and...I couldnt talk about art with out mentioning Dudley Wade(Prog)Who was one of my first friends here and a heck of a great teacher and i think i learned more from his advise and studying his art than anything else....I dont think i have a style,except that my style is in doing something different when i can think of it!and the longer i post art in these galleries the more i realize that its not really about the art but about the friendships made....getting better with our art is just icing on the cake..I have also been a musician all my life and have played guitar for 30 some odd years..Loving everything from Mel Torme to Jimi Hendrix to all the great new music i hear..some Favorites..Frank Zappa,Stevie Ray Vaughn,Beatles,Pink Floyd,Yes,Scott Henderson,Steve Vai,Joe Satriani,Steve Morse,Nuno Bentencourt,Paul Gilbert,Vinnie Moore,Frank Gambale,Al Dimeola,Les Paul,Chet Atkins,Speedy wes,Jimmy Brynt,Barney Kestle,Charlie Byrd,and many more..i have been posting at renderosity mostly and at Dreamslayerart,Tapestry of dreams,Innertraveler,artzone,renderotica and 3DCommune..not all at the same time...lol...I am very easy to get along with and treasure the friendships made here..I am not afraid to speak up for what i believe in ,am strictly non violent,love nature,and always looking for fun and a reason to celebrate life...so dont be afraid to say hello or ask for help..I dont bite that hard...Love and Peace and Respect.

I don't understand how it is for entertainment and people are getting hurt and trolled upon!! THAT IS NOT ENTERTAINMENT!! This is suppose to be a gallery website not a Porn site or Horoscope website (which happens to be for entertainment purposes only)!! RO needs to get their team together and get this issue resolved.

SAME BS reply I got to my post in the Poser forum....Yada yada yada.....makes me sooooooooooooooooo mad!!!! But The PTB have spoken, and who are we mere peons to question how they go things GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR Oh....great image BTW :-)

All of us got the same answer Bill... I just hope they get the point and can get this resolved before too many more wonderful artists leave due to events such as this. This is a fantastic image and I know Calum's gonna just love it!! Excellent!! :)

CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG. LOVE AND ENJOY THE GIFT OF ART.

I do not agree that Top 20 should be removed, as I enjoy looking at it and voting but I do however feel so sad that people can be so hurtful. I love Progs art and it is so silly that people have to be so envious. But to me, removing it would let those mean people win. Beautiful image.

Great dedication Bill and a wonderful,creative and unique work of art! Calum is a superb artist too and I haven't been here long enough to know what happened to him, but he certainly is a nice guy and doesn't deserve abuse. I think maybe the forums should go!!! People can comment for images, and write messages. Both are direct communication and prevent attacks behind someone's back! I've never seen the top 20. I just like to look at the beautiful art people create, and try to learn from it! And for Elfenone, my sincere best wishes for the safety of your family down south, and for everyone there! Sorry for writing too much!

Beautiful work! I also wrote and got the same exact answer. It shows the adm. does not give a hoot about the Hot20 and the pain is causes.

Bill thankyou so much!!!!!!!Im sorry Im so bloody slow at getting around!I really love this and what it stands for!I feel like a right prat at the moment,I have never said thankyou to anyone for voting for my work in the past.I saw some ppl saing it under their own work like'thanks for your votes etc..'I went and said thanks for voting me into the top20 last time out or something and now I cringe about it!!I agree ,chuck the top 20 out and be done with it!I really couldnt care less.When I started out it was great,it was like I was doing something that p[pl liked.With all this misery caused is it worth it!NO!!I think perhaps another system should be considered but as to what I really am nor sure.A suggestion that I brought up before was that a panel should vote perhaps for work they liked over a week.An invite weekly to all members cycled per gallerys to see who would like to have the job!Then an unbiased voter could add their selection to the list???Kinda thing!!Whatever hey8-)! Thanksagain for the awesome pic bro,always here for you,cal

Excellent image...impossible problem...we see it in all walks of life from the playground to goverment. SuckUps, Clicks and Troublemakers are always with us throughout life...run if you like but they will be there too!!! I myself just do my art, enjoy the talented artist here and don't worry about all the assholes around!!!

Excellent image Bill, great character and postwork. I like the color contrasts. As for your idea of removing the hot 20 I'm with you but I'm afraid that some people in this community will always find a way to spread there filth. It's very sad but its a fact of life.

Great image and dedication, Bill! Personally, I see it as the same all over: take a system that works for the majority, and the unfortunate/uncaring/bottom-dwellers will screw it up every time, just like the looters in NO did this past week. Ah, well, this too shall pass. hugs Ish

Thus said... "The cold 20". That's where I'd be. hee hee hee hee hee hee hee... Goes back in hole.

Aboslutely one gorgeous image and dedicated to such a remarkable and amazing artist and friend! Calum is just the best and I admire his work more than I can even say!! I also wrote an email regarding these matters, and I got the same canned response, and I must say it's quite irritating! They will never change it, and I have no idea as to why! Outstanding artwork and dedication!!!
