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.

Hey man, your images are uber cool, and I will miss seeing them. But, ya gotta respect your values and opinions. I wish you the best of luck, wherever you may land! Later bud!

I understand your frustration and anger, especially where it concerns Tiquanleap. There is definitely a sense of favoritism and or discrimination going on here at times. You have my utmost respect for making this decision and keeping it, although I as well as many others will hate to see you gone from these hallowed and at times, infamous halls. However, I do trust that I will be able to continue our friendship over at DSA? Take care my friend and if you decide to come back to Rosity, I'll be there first one there with welcoming arms.
MistDragon
We will miss you Bill. Perhaps if you post somehwree else you will let us all know where to find you?

Sorry to see you leave Bill, I can fully understand your feelings and agree with what you are saying. Please let us know if you are gonna post your work somewhere else so we won't loose the great artist I think you are. Best off luck my friend and take care. Awesome piece of work once again, I'm gonna miss it. Hope to see your art again soon, Ed

Oh Bill, this is an absolute tragedy! Obviously, you have made your mind up, but I beg you to re-consider. Dave is still about, posting beautiful work quite happily, but sadly not on Renderosity. I do agree that at times the site is still slow and I can just imagine how you must be feeling, with a dial up connection. You are well respected here Richard and I believe in time, things will get better, server wise, eventually. You are one of the people I joined Renderosity for. You're a good man Bill. Please don't go! I rest my case. I'm sure thereare a lot of other people who feel like I do. Steve :o) Heck, I even put a new avtar up for ya! Hahahaha!

Hey Bill, I can understand your feelings completely. You and your incredible art will be missed here terribly by everyone. I am looking for another place to post my images because of the issues you wrote about. I have a high speed connection, but Rendo is terribly slow for me too. Only the Marketplace seems to be moving at a decent speed. What happened to Dave can happen to anyone, and I know of several people who have had images unfairly removed by moderators in the past. Please let me know where you are going. Thank you for all the incredible art, and for being so honest and outspoken. Your friend, Rob

Awesome work of art here!! I totally understand what you're saying Bill. It's not the same anymore at all. Hope the best for you in whatever you do:o)

Bill, I have always enjoyed your unique art, concepts and vision. I've been here awhile too and seen many a great artist sadly leave - not just Dave, of course. I completely respect and understand your thoughts and feelings regarding the apparent ad-hoc approach to "interpretating" what is and what isn't "acceptable. At it's best it is subjective, at it's worst it can be a means to a lynching. Please let me know where you will post in the future by dropping me a line - I very much want to continue to follow your great artwork. And should you decide to stay, or take a respite and return again some day - you will be most welcome! Tito (nucks)

Its really sad to hear you are leaving Bill, but i do agree with everything you said. I post least on this site than anywhere else... i can recommend some nice places like foreverynyte said, DSA is a nice place, as is startiste, sheezy art, and DA... Could you drop me a line sometime, as i have an opportunity for you if thats ok... regarding a magazine if you're interested in having your art featured :-) Thanks again for sharing your work with us. See ya around the other art communities.

Never talked to you at all 'cept through comments, but I can understand your disappointment and frustration with the PTB (powers that be) here. I'd hope you'd change your mind and still post things here occasionally, but if not we'll live obviously. do let us know where you will be posting though please. :)
svdl
Damn Bill I don't know what to say. I'll miss your artwork, your creativity, your wide range of styles. And I'll not only miss the art, I'll miss YOU. I fervently hope you'll reconsider. This image is as fine a piece of art as you've ever made. I have no idea how you did the effects, but theyr'e awesome. The anger screams out from my screen. Marvelous work!
McAfee2000
Bill I'm going to miss you - you are a creative inspiration. Hugs
DreamersWish
I would like to say that is one seriously creepy piece of artwork, but it gets its point across. This is a very creative piece of art! I am sorry that I have not seen your artwork till now and I am sorry that you are leaving. I hope you will find a place that makes you feel more at home for your creativity. I wish you well!
TheAnimaGemini

And there in dies one of Renderositys greatest legacies... over 1200 images, 3 -1/2 years of dedication to art... gone at the blink of an eye. Mate!
IgnisSerpentus
:Sighs: so many people leaving... its really sad when friends start. I really think Rendo has shot themselves in the foot with all the rules. Its definitely had an adverse affect on the community as a whole. But I dont blame you or others. Its hard to hang in a place where youre constantly under the gun. Hope that you will find a new happy home for your awesome pix. And I hope you will let us all know where that is. Good luck!!!
redflame
