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')

Forgot to mention, the image above was on my homepage while the Chira project was being announced. The dragon is not Scurge, I forgot where I found him, think it was at 3dcafe.com. Apologies to the modeler for lack of credit.

Hi Mom Elnor, I am KanDu aka Vikki. I am a artist, like Dave is, here at Renderosity. Dave has always been kind in supporting my work, and for that I am grateful. He is a fabulous artist, as I am sure you already know. I hope you will enjoy being with Dave and family. I think it is wonderful you will have the time, to make up for lost time. No matter what, there is nothing like being with your children, to make a mom feel better. Being with Dave, I am sure will give you a great lift. :-} It is nice to meet you and thank you Dave for introducing us to your mom! That is so cool! Oh and I LOVE your picture too! Very Cool.

Hello Elnor, this is a happy hello from Thelma, all the way across the pond in England. You must be very proud of Dave, he is a lovely and wonderful person. He is also a mavelous artist and a fantastic story-teller. He has been a great friend and is always supportive of the work I've done here at Renderosity. I hope your health improves, and I just know you will be very happy with Dave and his family. Take good care now, and I wish you all the best. Bye for now, Thelma xxxxx
