Hi, I'm Dave :^)
I've learned that Art is 5% inspiration and 95% perspiration! I started CGA as a hobby early 2004. This site is huge, so if you have seen any of my material, then thank you for taking the time.
BIO:I'm a widowed Electronics and Software design Engineer living in Southern California, about 60 miles east of Los Angeles.
My late wife Robin.. passed in 2003 after 31 wonderfully married years, the last 7 of which Robin was in poor health. I miss my Babe so much...
I'm working with Poser5, Bryce5.5, Wings3D, PSP-10 and CorelPaint8.My mother (Elnor) is also on this site as Silkylady. If you get a chance, please drop by her gallery and see her work.
Finally, remember these words of wisdom:
1) Don't sweat the petty stuff and don't pet the sweaty stuff.2) If your only tool is a hammer then all your problems will look like nails.3) It's amazing what can be accomplished when one doesn't know what one can't do.4) Very few know how much one must know in order to know how little one really knows.5) Give a man fire and you heat him for awhile. Set a man on fire and he is heated for life.6) Complexity is a set of things that we figured how to do right, one built on top of the other, until failure is achieved.7) Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get.8) Marriage is a place where you can be wrong in ways you never thought possible.9) If a man speaks his mind in a forest and no woman hears him.. is he still wrong?10) If at first you don't succeed, then cover up all previous attempts that failed.
Please enjoy your visit! Dave :^)(AKA: 'davidoblad','DLO')

Thought provoking image and very well done! Man worshiping himself reminds me of that a lawyer who represents himself has a fool for a client. Nice to see you creating again!

About time you got back here young fella. I'll let all the ladies give you all that emotional stuff about all the long hours health and so forth etc., etc., etc., not my style I'm here to cheer you up not butter you up. Girls have a way of doing that. ( strictly my opinion here might get into deep trouble but such is life don't you know) told you to slow down you arent young anymore dude. Take my advice work an hour sleep two works for me. I'm trying to figure out what's going on here don't worry it doesn't matter I may just get it in a couple of days. In any event the work and effort shows and I like the piece. Big Vote Old Friend and hell don't stay away so long! George

I love evil the fire looks like it is being thrown,and I love the movement of the whole piece and the colors are beautiful. The little flying creatures make me laugh, they are cute little evil things. I miss you soooooo much, I wish you were not soooooo busy. We were so sorry to hear about your cat,it just never stops coming does it? How about a vacation we would love to see you. xxoo

I'm glad to see you are back and well, David! So sorry to hear about your illness and the loss of your pet, it seems when it rains it pours. This is absolutely magnificent composition, and the concept and the title is very clever and I can relate to this more than you could ever know, David! All the elements are realized remarkably, and there's so much to see in this piece that I might be awhile! LOL! Great work on the modeling and that fantastic sky, that came out wonderfully! I will say that lately I am more than humbled as life can really dish out a lousy hand of cards. Things have been very rough for me over the past few weeks, and I must say that you brought a smile to face with this sensational piece! Your kind words are very touching to me, especially when you are having troubles of your own. You have the biggest heart, David, and I always wish you the very best! We'll get though this together, my friend! Take care of yourself and keep strong and focused, and I will try to do the same! Outstanding artwork and concept, and thank you so very much, David!!

The man in the Speedos is ready to dive into the war of good and evil! And when he comes up for air, he must make a hard choice of a life-time! To fly naked, or to fly with the other boners!! ( Do the math!!) V
