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.

May I please be the Frog if I have that honor? I love frogs and my virtual band I created was called Goth Frogz, a venture I put more effort into than graphics, and it exhausted me! Aweomse image and please enjoy your vacation! I'd love to vacate but I think I must work every day until I croak [intentional pun!]. My dad passed away several years ago, and right when I was really getting to know him as a person. I miss him, too, he was one of the last good guys. This image is outstanding and reminds me that there is more to life than sorrow and grief, it's about fellowship and friendship. Bill, I realize I haven't been here long, but your artwork and comments mean so much to me. You are a staple to this community, and it's always an honor to be a part of your art, gallery, and friendship. Can I please be the frog? lol! I hope you enjoy the desert and al its' splendor, I'm sure the flowers will be waiting for you and the howls of coyotes in the night! Excellent work and please know that I know you are one special person! V

Dear Bill, You miss him because he still lives in your heart and in your thoughts - and he always will! I hope that you take a camera to the desert with you as deserts in bloom are magical places. The Chihuahuan desert of Northern Mexico and Western Texas is as bleak as the moon - until a chance rain falls - and for a fortnight - it explodes in square miles of wildflowers like nowhere else. Do the people associated with each animal figure know which one is them? And did they guess, or did you tell them? Cute image and extremely well crafted! Love, Meredith PS - do you ever listen to classical?

This is fabulous! Terrific concept and execution! Enjoy the desert, it's my favorite place, over around Santa Fe. My dream is to live there, or at/near Chimayo, NM. Dry, dusty, hot, yes. But still, my dream. So how did I end up in cold, wet England?!?! hugs Ish

"Color him father" (old soul song - by: The Winstons)- remember that one? WINK. Just excellent work my good man. Enjoy your desert vacation with your better half. Methinks if you listen on a quiet, desert night, you just might hear 'dad'? PEACE & LOVE. T.P.
