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.

Sorry Bill... bugger the swelling mate... just prolongs it for you and Mrs Bill... sorry mate... they have their reasons. And this top, topper, toppest thing... what a crock of shit...mate, there I am at the top as fav artist... just because I show a bit more boobs and bum... I don't know, we all turn on commens and ratings when we submit... we're not sure why... maybe they just need to ditch it and leave the IM to the artist... I like comments... but I like humour too... so some of the return comments make me happy... I love 'em all! Bugger on the swelling... bugger...we gotta do this thing and move forward... you guys have to feel shattered... I'm always here you guys... Cool image!

This looks like it was inspired by Patrick Woodruff. Got that feel even if nothing else is similar. Well done.

Wonderful work of art, Bill. As to the art charts, who the hell needs them.. Be proud of what you create, but do it within your own heart, and not to get on a list someplace... The great painters of the world didn't have an art chart, nor a list of good ole buddies to put them on one... LOL.. that's all the charts amount to anyway, it's just another damn HOT20 with a different name given to it... Excellent work here... (hugs)

Beautifully Done!

I love how we were not surveyed as to what we would have liked to see as far as the site goes. And did you notice that most of the names in the list are poser artists, why dont they just divide the catagories into three, 2D, 3D and photography. I am still pulling for you boy!
papachile
Wicked awesome!!! I love the way that you made this awesome image! And I am praying for your son.

Wonderful image - I love your style, and I'm surprised you are worried about popularity. My prayers are with you and your family.

Wonderful work my friend

If you think i am worried about popularity..You read my comment wrong.(and dont know me very well)..i couldnt give a rats ass about that ridiculous chart or being popular...as someone else said its just another HOT 20 with a new name...art is not a competition...The HOT 20 list caused lots of grief with some very close friends and i am sure this list will do the same...but as i also said i wont go there again..even the guy sitting at the top of the list says its a crock of shit...!!!i had to post this to defend myself..as i was the number 1 advocate for getting rid of the HOT 20..and will advocate loosing this list too.i would feel the same being on the list or not....What i put out there is always the best i can do...no matter how many people look or what rating it gets...my comment are left open because i have friends that i want to share my ideas with not to have a popularity contest.
Kinouk
You go Bill I agree with ya :) I never make to the top of the charts..who cares. This is very beautiful and so different!!! Excellent my friend! hug for you and your son

Oh geez, Bill, I'm so very sorry the swelling hasn't gone down enough where they're able to operate on your son's leg, but as RGUS pointed out, the doctors do have their reasons for waiting. Better to operate under as ideal a condition as possible. I know the waiting is just hell though. :( I pray that swelling goes down soon so they can finally operate. As for the 'art charts', I'm with you totally on that one, kiddo. I had one look just to see what the heck they were and that one look was enough. I agree it's the Hot 20 with a different name. Art is art; there's no good or bad (except in the eyes of the viewer), and there's no right or wrong. Art is an expression, and an extension of the artist. And frankly, I also hate the statistics shown with my images. It's like a neon sign or a billboard, and for me, it's downright embarrassing. Leave it at receiving an e-mail if something gets added to a 'fave', and forget how many have viewed the image. Now, down to what really counts in the galleries, which is the awesome artwork like your image! That Guardian is absolutely adorable and I love both the expression and the pose. Adding the bubbles also aide in giving the image that 'underwater' feel, and your postwork is awesome. Outstanding artwork! I continue to keep your son and family in my thoughts and prayers, and yes, that positive energy keeps flowing your son's way. Bleesings to you all.

Sorry to hear about the postponed operation. I hope Chris is holding up well. I'm thinking of him, and of you. A wonderful image, I like all those small bubbles. Your versatility in technique and subject is unmatched, yet every single one of your images is instantly recognizable as being a "primaltruck". Magnificent work again!
brycek
Well put Bill! Sorry the operation has been postponed..will keep you all in my prayers. Beautiful image!!

Well, I hope everything works out soon, so you don't have to go through much more waiting, Pal!!! As for the art charts-I have no idea what they are doing with them! It doesn't make much sense to me, and there must be some kind of formula they use, but I can't figure it out!!!! I was hoping that whatever they did, we could have the option of no participating, but no go on that, huh? Well, hang in there, Bill!!! Excellent work, too!!!
RubyT
Gorgeous work! Waiting...I hate waitin for anything! Thank you for the update!!As for that art charts deal, if you can't make it, I have no chance!!! LOLOL. It's for the "special favorites" anyhow is how I see it.
