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.

Bill, it is hard being a caregiver for someone. Mom and I wet through it with my dad. Now I am going through it with mom. But no one takes advantage as we all try to do our best for her. My thoughts are with you, I know what you are going through. Just hang in there and remember, you have friends to talk to when it gets rough. Lovely image, BTW. :)

We are going through that very thing with my wife's mom down in Anaheim. I'm bach'in it again for the umpteenth time. I feel for your on duty time away from home. Hang in there buddy and I hope you can keep doing your art. It saves me - I know.

Bill, just be strong and do what's right for your mother; you may have to wait until you get to Heaven for your reward, but it'll happen. I assume this lovely lady is not from Cleveland; good work!!

Bill, there's absolutely nothing wrong with this image that I can see; it is most appealing. And I think you are to be commended for the protective attitude you are showing towards your mom. Every mother should have such a son. Take care.

My friend, it's a noble thing you are doing and the best heroes end up sacrificing so much. It's very honorable that you're staying with your mom to help her heal and to keep the wolves at bay. You're building karma. When you've got thing such as what you have going on, comments are the least of your concerns. I wish you the best.

What a sorry state of affairs to have to protect your Mom like that Bill. I discovered at my late cousin's funeral that she and her husband had been milking my Mother systematically and using her as a stopover on the way to some religious nonsense (not the conventional type, I am God fearing) My Cousin used to say that her husband was travelling north on business when all they we doing was resting off, to save themselves the expense of a travel lodge (motel) She died months after my Mom (Murphy's Law) and I went to her funeral out of respect, which is when I found out from the preacher's sermon how she'd been stringing my Mom along. She was funding their house in the stockbroker belt of Hertfordshire and they were living it up and upgrading their bathroom & kitchen on my Mom's hard earned money. I hope the husband goes bankrupt! You and your Mom are in my thoughts Bill! Steve ;o)

I feel your pain, brother. I have two of them to attend to on an almost constant basis - her mom, my dad. It can get to be overwhelming. Good that you have a moment here and there for art. I find it to be one of the best therapies known to man. Excellent artwork frequently results, as your art proves here - wonderful work! Best of luck to you, and you're in my prayers.
