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.

Dear Bill, that is a very nice attitude and very refreshing, too. My parents and grandparents always refered to the "good old days" but I don't think too many people do that anymore. It seems that many look at yesterday and are glad that it is over - and that is really sad. Very interesting mix of forms and shapes - organic and artificial melded together. My problem is too much organic chemistry - I'm still scrolling up looking for the lysergic acid structure! ;-) (I know, I know, I'll shut up!) Very excellent an thought provoking - and I love your "sometimes I think I am the luckiest person alive" because if you think that - you are!!! Love, Meredith

Great looking piece Bill! I was listening to some Steely Dan :-) Excellent work!!!

It's so funny -- I just got finished ripping some of my old CD's to mpegs for my IPOD and one of them was the old Isle of Wright Live album (Voodoo Child). This would have been a great album cover for one of Jimi's albums. If you're into Hendrix, check out a guy named Frank Marino of Mahogany Rush - best Hendrix-like guitatist in the world IMHO.

You know, I was at that age when Woodstock was all over the media, but too young to go. Not that my sister got to go. The second Woodstock was my niece's era, but she got to share that experience with her mother and father who were both on the medical team. This is a really cool trippy image S

This is magnificent!!!!! Would make a fantastic framed print....and hey, I grew up with the likes of Janis Joplin, The Stones, The Beatles, and I still love to think back on those carefree days :-)

I think our years were much better than the ones we are living now and yes they say the past always seems better, not true, don't think the generation that lived world war I and II could say that...we were the lucky generation! This image brought back a lot of memories,spectacular! thanks!
eres
LOL buddy!!!!! I'm absolutely sure that when you're listening to Jimi Hendrix...You feel OK...I suppose i it could be the same with Franck Zappa, Jeff Beck, Grateful Dead, Yggy Pop, and so many others lol...But anyway that the reason why i love you and you're wonderful images!!!PEACE AND LOVE!!!

Ah, Jimi Hendrix, brings back memories of my youth..hehe. Excellent pic Bill, love the shapes :)
Shardz
Ahhh, yes! Those were the days indeed! I'm not sure even what to say about the music of today...don't really understand most of it, and the lot that I do stems down to commercialism. Fantastic image in all it's colorful, rendered glory! Are you experienced?? Oh yeah!!!! lol! Fantastic image and composition, Bill!! VV*

Oh get me my black light! :D This is so cool! In ways it reminds me of a waterpipe a couple of my friends had. It was actually incredibly beautiful (I'm sure they thought so too.) Yep, I still listen to all that great music. Wow, the memories... :) Excellent artwork & Love & Peace! ;)

Very cool stuff! It sure does look like it could have been a cover for Jimi! Personally I'm glad the good ole days are over and I'm looking forward to tomorrow.

Every age has its own good and bad aspects. Our responsibility is keeping the good parts of the past and combining them with the good parts of the present, in order to create a better future! But we should never forget where we came from. Awesome abstract artwork, and wonderful words!
