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')

Hey where's the Ghost? I can't see it. You just gave me an idea for my next masterpiece....A GHOST PIC....Wouldn't be much. work now would it?......blank canvas would do it. Dig the robe and the shades on the dude. You playing it safe? No need to click the Nudity box is that it. Chorny's been getting away with murder for years now with his dudes (I have never seen him check that Nudity box0 Well done and a happy Halloween young fella. Don't eat to manny candy's bad for the gums! "V" George

Dave, I love it,but what is with the glasses for a skeleton with no eyes. Even if I gave him candy, he has no mouth. This is really funny, Dave, the sexy ghost from Hollywood with those shades...Love it and you to pieces...Vote...Mom...
davidoblad
He wore the glasses to hide the fact he has no eyes.. just eye sockets. But I think the lack of a nose is the dead give-away though, don't you? ...lol

Love it!! Happy Halloween!!!! Thanks for the laughs!

LOL! I viewed this one late late night...errm monring before I went to sleep, and I really got a good chuckle and a smile from this image! He is most cunning and remarkably crafty! If the residents only knew! There is so much humor here it's amazing, and the first thing that made me laugh was the fact a skeleton is dressed up as ghost asking for candy that he can't even ingest! LOL!! I suppose it's the sport of it all! The glasses are a great touch and his extended right hand is just classic! Hopefully he will get his treat because I wouldn't want this guy playing any tricks on me! Also, love the purple basket, and shows this poor guy hasn't had much luck tonight! LOL! This is just the best and I really enjoyed viewing this!! Excellent work, David!!

This is great David, way cool. And the shadows are good, especially the folds in the gostly attire. As usual your composition is fun, it amazes me what pop's out of your head and the whole thing in two hours? It took me all day to do the dog house. I forgot everything you taught me, and had to do the lesson again. Your ears must have been burning,I know I had smoke coming out of mine, I sure do miss you. lol

Is she a ghost or a skeletons? I can't tell with the glasses! Purple basket says its a girl because a man wouldn't be caught dead with a purple basket:-)) vote
