Well for those who like to know more about me this is it. My real name is Ed van Dalen. I live in the Netherlands, in Rotterdam to be precise. I was born in 1962 in that same city. This site (Renderosity) is a great place to be and I enjoy being here very much. A little explanation for the picture. Someone at the site gave me the idea for this logo when he linked my name with the name of the rockband Van Halen.  There is a resemblance with their logo but I gave it my personal twist with the mouse in the rings to make the connection to computer art.
BIO
As I told in the intro I'm dutch. I work as a service mechanic for 21 years now and since recently as a freelance digital artist. I am not a die hard computer artist because I started only about a year ago with this kind of art. I have been painting pin-ups for a lot of years until I visited a bookmarket where I found a book about 3d digital rendered figures. From then on I was hooked. It took until May this year (2005) before I had the nerve to post my first image. I'm glad I did though cause since then I got to know a lot of wonderful people who gave me the confidence to carry on with my art. This site has made my world so much bigger and I thank everyone who comes and visit it.

Nothing quite like a toxic glow and a bit of grunge to get you really noticed when you go out night clubbing ! Most unusual pin-up Ed, but I like it, way kool fella ! Well done & ~Cheers~

Reckon she better get her foot outta that sludge lest she winds up with a few extra toes. Initially you would think her daft for chosing such a place for a "holiday", but then you have to think... what if she had no choice. Perhaps the the rest of the world is in the same state and this location is actually a "garden spot" by comparrison to elsewhere?? At least, that's where my mind goes with this one.

I hope it doesn't come to this, but it doesn't hurt to be reminded of what could happen if we're not careful. Thank you for sharing this startling image.

A very sad statement to be sure. And for too many this scene is their present now. If only our people and our leaders got a spine and took on these challenges as opposed to taking the easy way out.

Oh my God. This one is so great and leaped right out at me! Absolutely fantastic render, but it also reminds me of this one guy I know. I drank with him one night in the biggest dive bar in town when I was like seventeen. LOL. But anyway, he was airborne at one point and during training one of his jumps went bad and he landed up to his neck in a toxic waste dump. OMG! But he's still around, live and kicking, so I guess it's okay to LOL while I'm writing this. :) Oh what a character he is. Sorry this got so long, but I just had to share that. Awesome image, twingo!
