Hi, I'm Dave :^)
I've learned that Art is 5% inspiration and 95% perspiration! I started CGA as a hobby early 2004. This site is huge, so if you have seen any of my material, then thank you for taking the time.
BIO:I'm a widowed Electronics and Software design Engineer living in Southern California, about 60 miles east of Los Angeles.
My late wife Robin.. passed in 2003 after 31 wonderfully married years, the last 7 of which Robin was in poor health. I miss my Babe so much...
I'm working with Poser5, Bryce5.5, Wings3D, PSP-10 and CorelPaint8.My mother (Elnor) is also on this site as Silkylady. If you get a chance, please drop by her gallery and see her work.
Finally, remember these words of wisdom:
1) Don't sweat the petty stuff and don't pet the sweaty stuff.2) If your only tool is a hammer then all your problems will look like nails.3) It's amazing what can be accomplished when one doesn't know what one can't do.4) Very few know how much one must know in order to know how little one really knows.5) Give a man fire and you heat him for awhile. Set a man on fire and he is heated for life.6) Complexity is a set of things that we figured how to do right, one built on top of the other, until failure is achieved.7) Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get.8) Marriage is a place where you can be wrong in ways you never thought possible.9) If a man speaks his mind in a forest and no woman hears him.. is he still wrong?10) If at first you don't succeed, then cover up all previous attempts that failed.
Please enjoy your visit! Dave :^)(AKA: 'davidoblad','DLO')

Oh, my gosh! I wish the Birthday Girl a very happy birthday and many more! Elnor is just the sweetest lady ever and her beautiful words are always such a wonderful treat to read! Between her and me, we have enough cake to choke a horse I think! LOL! Being your mother, I can honestly say she raised the most articulate and caring son with the most pleasant qualities that one could ever ask for, and that equally says a lot about her, as well! I was a little late for this (about 5 minutes) as I was out celebrating my birthday, but I'm glad I caught this just the same! My very best Birthday wishes to Elnor and I hope all her dreams come true!! Excellent image and fabulous sentiment, Dave! You two are very lucky to have each other! Big hugs to you both

Thank you so much to a very loving son, whom I love more than life. Oh by the way, Meredith, we found Tiffanys open. I have a beautiful necklace and matching bracelet. (and flowers and a big stuffed doggie) I am so lucky and so very spoiled rotten. About 55 yrs. ago, I was in 27 hrs. of labor, with a 9lb.1oz baby boy. The pain of it all. Gave birth 4 days after my birthday. Happiest day of my life. His birthday is on the 12-Nov. Thank you all for a nice response to my BD today. I love you all. Huggs...Silkylady...

Dear Elnor, (and Dave gets to read this over your shoulder,) Our dumb exchange server has been off in Never, Never Land (yeah - with Michael Jackson - scary thought!) and routing my e-bots to Mars - so I didn't get notice of this until this morning - which makes me a little late for the party - but then what else is new??? I'm really glad that Dave found his way to Tiffany's like I suggested. I considered sending him a map, but figured the directions to the store had been included in the first week of Male Survival Training. Of course, had he forgotten his lesson, (or more likely, been goofing off in survival class drawing naughty pictures and not paying attention,) then of course, he wouldn't have survived! Hmmm - let's see - 9 pounds and 1 ounce - hmmm - that would be about - a SUBSTANTIAL part of a metric ton!!! And 27 HOURS?? It better have been a SERIOUS necklace and bracelet from Tiffany's!!! He should have bought the whole store to apologize!!!! And just girl to girl never, never, never admit to being spoiled rotten!! Spoiled rotten is the natural order of things for those of the female persuasion!! In fact, Im almost certain its even in the Constitution in one of those Amendment thingies!! Lets see November 12th Sunday Daves birthday Ive made the appropriate notation in my hit list er uh in my date book!!! Anyway Happy, Happy Birthday one more time from me and everyone here at Renderosity!!!! Love, Meredith PS hes gonna be 55?? How did you get younger than he is??? Must be some kind of space-time warp!!!

Happy birthday Elnor and Dave. I miss you two. I marvel at the love between you. Elnor, I am so happy that you have learned the art of rendering. I envy you, in that you get to learn from one of the best. Keep up the good work. Have a great B-Day Dave. Life is good here in FLA. God Bless. Nan
