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.

You have no idea how much I love elephants! I don't know why? It must be something with my previous life (ha, ha, ha)! Your image is such cute that I have no words for it! Fantastic! Wonderful! Super done!!!!

OMG! Don't let my momma see that. Some years back she wished for a Myna Bird, she got three as a gift. Later she wished for a monkey...we ended up with several. I told her to please not wish for an elephant...lol. A really great render and I love the idea of it.

He looks nice! Is he housebroken - or is the house broken by now? Brought a smile to my face. Aside from being funny and original, this is also very well done. The plants in the foreground, the water, top notch stuff! Excellent work.

So THAT'S where the phrase, "Elephant in the room" comes from? WINK. EXCELLENT!

Something assuredly has changed, and I think perhaps it is your style. You've been adding these surrealistic elements of late, and while I really love your ladies with the glowing faces and bodies, this stuff is exceptionally interesting too. Great job.

WOW Reminds me "JUMANJI" ;-)

ROTFL!!! Ummm...it's probably that new plant. That always makes a difference in a room. Either that, or you attended one kick butt party! This is so cool! My eyes are all over the place taking in the numerous details of your image. It amazes me in that although there's so many different elements, you're able to harmonize it all. Incredible artwork! Oh, and either that's water on the floor or that elephant isn't housebroken. hehe

Oh wow - very cool. Love the elephant. I think I remember something of this joke either from an old movie or somewhere. This is super well done. Love it.
Forevernyt
Well, look at it this way, if you need to move, he brings his own trunk....okay I know, bad joke. But an awesome and intriguing render!
