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')

You are sooooooooooooooo twisted!! Okay no you know its tradition that when you send/make a humorous card/post that your supposed to send/post a serious one right? This is sooooo funny. Being a nurse I could say it could be worse, she could have come out of the hospital with more legs than she went in with. LOL. Obviously, it was a wonderful birthday surprise for Marly. Be patient dear, you will have a life time together soon. Hugs Michelle

Hey Dave, It's been a long time since I stopped over here, I'd have to look through your gallery to figure out the last time. I thank you for stopping by my gallery and leaving a comment. I hadn't planned EVER to post my face, but months ago something changed where I wanted people to recognize my work, my avatar... and then came the face - lol... I love colorful work - this picture is awesome - reminds me of platin... by the way, where has he been? and I think you and I have fallen into the same rutt to where we've been looking at galleries and posting comments instead of uploading images - It was great to hear from you and I see you don't post that often - I hope to see some current work soon. YOU HAVE BEEN FAVORITIZED!!!

Excellent.

Haha! I think this is the way it feels with many hospital stays - they do go overboard with procedures, at times. This is a great illustration!! Love it. ;o)
