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.

Hmmm...Bill. You wrote" realize that it boarders on violence" ....is this your meaning? For me this image was beautyfull. But okay,i respect this. Beautyfull portrait you created here. Love the effects.Somehow today we had both the same idea. LOL

Really beautiful work. I love the postwork it shines. Excellent.

I certainly was never offended, and I've been described occasionally by women as a "feminist". Interesting concept, the male feminist. Somebody should do an image...? Anyway, this is beautiful too.

Beautifully Done!

Well I thought it beautiful in its own right like I think this one is as well on its own merits S love the dreamlike quality it has and the softness in the face is marvelous S as for the other pic, I respect your decision to pull it but it was never offensive HUGS

Well Bill, you're a wonderful person and I know in my heart that you didn't mean to offend anyone! But, it was very thoughtful to remove your image because it offended a friend. This is a beautiful "Dreamy" portrait, and so flawlessly crafted! Happy Thanksgiving my friend! Fav!!!

I took that image as a playfull expression of a little slap and tickle spankin fun. I'm sorry to see you take it down. I would never have thought you'd offend anyone and never would have taken your art that way. This image here is pretty.

I was never offended by your Aiko spanking image, Bill. But it says a lot about your character that you'd take it down for your friend, and I respect that. This lookss Incredible, too! - Matt
