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.

Well Bill, if you want testimony and proof after a cycle crash, I'm your man. I'll message you privately, over that. Your work is always very special and this beautiful work is a very fitting dedication to your boy. Really beautiful work. You must be very worried right now. I can only begin to imagine how you and your good lady must be feeling right now. You are in my thoughts. Take good care. Steve :o)

Sorry to hear about your son, but thank goodness he had his helmet on. My thoughts are with both him and you. Amazing job on the hair and cape in this!

Beautiful image, Bill. Sorry about your son. My thoughts are with him for a speedy recovery. Glad he wore a good helmet. Safety devices should never be shunned. Teaching my son to wear a seat belt saved his life many years ago in a car crash. Every now and then the young do listen. :)

Very beautiful image and heart felt dedication to your son. I am so sorry about your son's accident. My thoughts and prayers are with him. You are so right about people wearing the proper safety devices while riding a motorcycle or car. I am constantly amazed by the number of people who dont wear seat belts in a car or wear helmets on a bike. It is like playing Russian Roulette. I was in a serious accident years ago, where my car blew a tire and then skidded off the road and rolled down a steep, rocky cliff, rolling at least 3 1/2 times. I know that the safety belt saved my life. Most people dont survive that kind of accident anyway, but without a seat belt, it would be certain death. Since I have been a very serious accident I can truly emphasize with your son and his condition. You have all my best and prayers for his complete recovery. You take care too !!!

There has been so many bike crashes lately and those who had helmets were spared. It will be a long recovery but he is so lucky, he will recover. Big hugz Bill.......

I've always been a solid advocate of wearing a helmet....I do hope your boy makes a full recovery and my thoughts are with you.

Hopes for a speedy recovery. I know what it's like having a child in the hospital. As for the helmet... a friend of mine was saved in a bicycling accident by his helmet (fell ten feet headfirst onto an underwater rock). The helmet did was it was supposed to do, i.e. disintegrate in absorbing the kinetic energy of the impact. He now keeps its remnants hung on his office wall as a wear-your-helmet conversation piece. "This would have been my skull..."

Beautifully Done & Hopes That All Goes Well With Chris's Surgery, And Recovery!

Sorry to hear about you son - here in New Mexico we don't have the helmet law. They had it recinded for some stupid reason. Glad he WAS wearing a helmet, and he only messed up his leg. I've seen the aftermath of a rider who didn't wear his helmet. It still resides in my mind. BTW: Great image - you cherry blossom is beautiful
Danceswithroos
Thats terrible Bill, Hope all goes well with the surgery. Keep us posted mate!
