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.

It's a shame the rest of your group doesn't have your desire, dedication and love for music, one would hope those qualities would have rubbed off on them because you obviously have all three. I hope you find a group that shares your passion. Cheer up, tomorrow is a special day and the future is bright...a very touching and moving work, full of your emotion. I hope the next one will be full of joy.

I completely understand what you are going through as all the bands I was in fell apart exactly due to the flake factor. I finally went off on my own and started Goth Frogz, and with two world tours and 4 platinum albums later, I sure showed them! LOL! Don't let it get you in a funk and perhaps you can find some cats closer to where you live! Less driving, more thriving! And have a very Happy Birthday tomorrow and enjoy the song in your heart for now!

Hang in there, Pal!!!! I know how much you have put into making music and how much you love it!! Keep looking, and I know you will find an outlet!!! Too bad i live so far away, but you probably wouldn't want to do any duets with a French Horn!!! LOL!!! Happy Birthday, Pal!!!! I hope it's a good one!!!! I've missed your artwork while i've been away!!!

Sorry to hear things aren't working out with your bandmates. That happens sometimes. But I'm sure you'll find someone else to jam with, even if it's by yourself for a while. Maybe you just need to take some time and find your own creative groove, then when you meet other musicians, things just might fall in line. Beautiful image too by the way. hugs hope you feel better soon. And HAPPY BIRTHDAY! =D

This picture appears to be inspired...Full of the emotions that we as artist struggle to portray everyday. One artist cuts off an ear, another struggles to acomplish something. These are milestones in our life that make success that much more enjoyable when we succeed...
PandyGirl
Oh you poor guy !! don't worry something will come out of all of this and turn around for you. I know how something can affect you to where you are not inspired to do much. The image is wonderful and shows your feelings all too well.. I wish you a very happy birthday! many hugs
DonaKuka

Bummer dude! I miss my band of over 20 years, but it was tough to maintain the same enthusiasm all the time. But what magic we had when we were all on the same wave! Happy Birthday Bill, and I pray your birthday wish comes true - A new Band! :)
ericfarris

Happy birthday!!! It is hard to find committed people nowadays unfortunately!
digi-b
hmmm this sure seems inspired to me. Art comes from many kinda of emotion and you've expressed your perfectly! Happy Birthday and I hope a band shows up just got you!! Really excellent!!!
Bothellite
Oh man!! This is terrible news but you are such a talent. I KNOW you aren't going to give up in any way whatsoever. My children (adults) are professional musicians and they curse the structureless nature of the artist beast. What a pain!! But then you are one of us LOL. You were so up for all this. We love you man. Keep up the spirit!!
cindyx
Happy Birthday tomorrow! Sorry to hear about your music situation. You know, if it doesn't kill you... it makes you stronger! Maybe these guys were just a stepping stone to where you're really going. Don't give up on your dreams. You'll get hooked up with new people. Opportunities will come along. Good luck!
Nicinet
yep, that can be very frustrating. Still - happy birthday - don't let the frustration get to you too much!
romanceworks
That is disappointing and very disheartening, but I have learned that people take an awful lot of work and you can't make them feel the way you do. You are such an enthusiastic artist for everything you create ... so don't lose that. Soon you'll be making music again. Hope you have a great B-Day. That's such a sad image, but very beautiful. :o) CC

fiction2002
Sorry you're going through this! Expressing your feelings through art seems a great response though, and this picture is excellent. Happy Birthday, and I hope you find some musicians who deserve to rock with you!
rjghise
Sorry to hear that Bill, I hope you find another band soon. Happy birthday for tomorrow :) Wonderful image :)
Wylder
Oh, how disappointing for you, Hon! I know how you feel, I've "been there, done that" with other types of projects and groups of people. It's hard to feel so let down. :( But you are obviously more dedicated than they are, and probably more talented, too! I hope you can salvage some sort of happiness for your birthday! Please remember that you have so many friends here, and we all hope you have a wonderful, happy fulfilling year!!! hugs

That is a great shame Bill. I'm sorry you feel so let down and quite rightly, you are upset. It's a shame you don't live over here, because I would guarantee you one or more gigs a week and there is also a jam night at two different venues, which is always well participated. The work shows your mood magnificently. Cheer up Sir. I think your next venture will be more successful. To start with, why not go to gigs and get to know musicians, who will most certainly "ask you up" on stage and just start from there. Then at least you know they're committed. Good luck Sir. Steve :o)
