Motorcycle Artist A.D. Cook joined Director Peter Starr Thursday night at Red Rock Harley-Davidson in Las Vegas to benefit in aid of prostate cancer education.
Last Thursday, September 8th, we participated in a special screening of Peter Starr’s 1980 classic “TAKE IT TO THE LIMIT, the Motorcycle Odyssey”, digitally remastered.
As for me, I always enjoy an evening that includes American motorcycles, art, and a movie.

Five of my favorite motorcycle paintings were displayed: one original and four A.D. Cook canvas art prints from our new full-size collection. My art feels right at home among all that glistening chrome on the showroom floor.

It was truly an honor to meet the legendary director, Mr. Starr. He presented his movie to Harley-Davidson loyalists, following up with a talk about prostate cancer issues and concerns.

DREAM 103 by A.D. Cook
I shared my latest painting, DREAM 103, along with a collection of my motorcycle art. DREAM 103 actually originated at Red Rock Harley-Davidson, where I photographed my model, Ashley, during one of their July bike washes. I then went on to create my painting, which was recently featured at the SKIN & BONES MOTORCYCLE AND ART EXHIBIT at the Legendary Sturgis Buffalo Chip.
