Well for those who like to know more about me this is it. My real name is Ed van Dalen. I live in the Netherlands, in Rotterdam to be precise. I was born in 1962 in that same city. This site (Renderosity) is a great place to be and I enjoy being here very much. A little explanation for the picture. Someone at the site gave me the idea for this logo when he linked my name with the name of the rockband Van Halen.  There is a resemblance with their logo but I gave it my personal twist with the mouse in the rings to make the connection to computer art.
BIO
As I told in the intro I'm dutch. I work as a service mechanic for 21 years now and since recently as a freelance digital artist. I am not a die hard computer artist because I started only about a year ago with this kind of art. I have been painting pin-ups for a lot of years until I visited a bookmarket where I found a book about 3d digital rendered figures. From then on I was hooked. It took until May this year (2005) before I had the nerve to post my first image. I'm glad I did though cause since then I got to know a lot of wonderful people who gave me the confidence to carry on with my art. This site has made my world so much bigger and I thank everyone who comes and visit it.

Ohhhh, I love the metaphorical play on words with that proverb in context to this fantastic image! As J.S. Bach would say "Air on the G-String", and she appears to be a master of that! LOL! Sensational character and outfit and the pose is fabulous! That Les Paul is just so detailed and I wonder why I can't meet a girl like this! LOL! A most wonderful dedication to the man, the legend, the great artist, Eric!! He's truly an inspiration to so many here and this dedication is just perfect!! Excellent work!!

LOL! Again you play with words in a really facinating way, Ed! :) This pinup is really gorgeous, and her pose with that guitar is excellent. I don't know how you come up with your reflection effect, I can see that you often use that in your work, and it is such an excellent detail! The expression in your characters face is totally amazing, and so are the shadows behind her :) A wonderful dedication to an wonderful artist, Ed! v ~Hugs from Hedda~
