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 bill, sooo happy you're okay! :D Someone tried to sneak in greybird on me last week but I just installed the free version of Avast Home Edition and it cleaned it out. :)

Glad to hear you are safe and your house is still standing Bill, a computer can be cleaned much easier than a life can be rebuild my friend. Excellent image, great looking character.

Your image is very well done.

Oh.....aber super!

Glad to hear you are ok! And hopefully now the ridge has burned out you'll have a firebreak for a few years to come. Fire is the downside to living in Paradise;-) Of course the cigar-smoking local dragons aren't helping;-)

Whew"......I'm glad you and lilly(the superdog)are safe, along with all of the rest of your life. Well maybe except for the virus, You certainly had a lot of very concerned friends. You're pic is awesome, a little piculiar as this is how a lot of those fires start, but I'm happier you and your family are going to be ok.

Glad you are OK Bill. Cool image ;)

I am very happy that you and your family are safe and your home has survived of the fire. It is a pity so many hectares of nature and burnt housings. I hope soon they can return to the normality and the forests are repopulated. Also desire that your computer is treated of the virus, is a terrible plague!!! Today's image is brilliant as all your art, a strong hug, your friend, Nuria

I'm sure it's such a relief for so many people, that you're safe again Bill. You can now hopefully rest a little with your dog and family, to refresh yourselves. I am so pleased the wind changed and I do believe even more now in the power of positive thinking. Steve :o)

That is so good to hear my friend. I was worried until now.Hey Bill get FireFox instead of using IE. You get less chance of viruses using Mozzilla FireFox than IE.Easy to set up.Again glad you and your family and place made it thru
