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.

Wow Bill -- this should be hanging in a gallery somewhere. One of your best and most creative abstract pieces -- VOTE and add to my favs. I envy your good fortune to get to see those great bands - especially at the old Filmore. I know a lot of the guys from Santana and Tower of Power since I used to produce music - There's a popular club band called Spang-A-Lang which I recorded and helped to get Tony Lindsay and Myron Dove hooked in with Santana and Tom Politzer with Tower of Power(I think they still play every now and then at Number One Broadway in Los Gatos)- I sure miss the Bay area music scene.

Wow this is just beautiful! The softness of the colors are in contrast to the spikes. Lovely image!

You know, Respecting each other wouldn't be hard if we love each other for real with our hearts and not our words. Love to give is like a gift already given. No expectations just plain love and if you do that everything else just steps into place..sometimes very ackwardly and slowly, but it does. Oh.. and as I'm looking at this image it's actually evoking thoughts of a nice juicy naval orange when you pull out pieces of the pulp an let it explode on your tongue as you bite it open. It even smells like an orange. Really really juicy and good for you.

The 50's and 60's? Those were my growing up years but I didn't do the Woodstock thing, nor the Hippie or Flower Child thing. Guess I was what they referred to as an L7...lol. Great colors here and great use of imagination on abstract art.

Far out! Not only is your image absolutely incredible, but you've had one incredible life just from what I've read so far. You definitely sound like a person who's got it all together, which I can't seem to do. Do you do any life coaching perchance? ;) Awesome artwork and thank you so much for sharing these incredible pieces of your life! Love & Peace!

Thanks for sharing your memories, and thanks for sharing this awesome piece of abstract art! I love the tilted horizon and the glassy effect. And respect: yes, that's what it's all about. Thank You!

Dear Bill, I didn't "quite" make it to Fillmore, but I well know the music you speak of! By one of those weird coincidences, when I clicked on this image, Nicky Hopkins unbelievable "Edward, the Mad Shirt Grinder" off Quicksilver's Shadow Grove album is blasting away! GOD HE WAS AWESOME! And now I just cued up Who Do You Love? Cipollina's riffs on that are some of the best that's ever been created! And yeah, I love Carlos and Grace, too. SO - what the Dickens is a sweet little blond doing listening to such depraved things? WELL - with a change of birth dates, I might have been right out there with you! I've been playing keyboards for as long as I can remember - and a little rhythm and bass - and woodwinds - tried violin, but quickly gave that up as a public service. I did some studio work in college - and deprived some real musicians of a job, but I needed the bucks! I don't have much love for "my generations" music zero virtuosity! Almost everything I play was written before my time in a lot of cases, several hundred years. I may go days without doing anything, and then spend a whole weekend beating Mister Steinway to a bloody pulp! And then on Monday, Ive got to listen to my manicurist gripe about repairing the wreckage! So cue up Edward, or Soul Sacrifice, or Triad and think of born too late Meredith!! Love, Meredith
