Start With The End In MindWhatever it is, see it first, entirely in your mind’s eye, and create what you see. There you go, end of post, end of story, fini. It’s as simple as that. The end. Like Forest (aka Mr. Gump) might say, “That’s all I got to say about that,“
I’ve been putting this off for ages, but I recently decided it was finally time to resolve my old YouTube issues and build a new channel to host and share my videos — the old and new alike. My new YouTube channel ( YouTube.com/@ADCook ) includes several art creation videos of my automotive-inspired art, motorcycle portraits, and fine art nudes on canvas and metal, event videos from various art shows and exhibits, along with my observations and stories of art, love, Las Vegas, and beyond.
What a day! It’s been a while since I’ve been to a race in Las Vegas and even longer since I’ve experienced anything like today. It was loud, with the smell of fuel, WD40, burnt rubber in the air, and gritty dust in the wind. And that was just on the track. Overhead, amazing U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds F-16 Fighter Falcons fighter jets were practicing their moves with a few flyovers. And although it was a bit chilly, it was a blast of a day!

As the holiday season approaches, our hearts and minds turn to those we love and cherish. In this joyous time of year, I want to take a moment to extend my warmest wishes to you and your family. May this Christmas be filled with moments of laughter, love, and peace that will last throughout the year.
An artist’s greatest gift is their passion and talent, with a desire to create. Art is without a doubt one of the most personal and subjective things that one can choose to have in their lives.
In August of this year, as part of his Red Hand Files correspondence project, legendary musician Nick Cave was asked questions about creativity and ChatGPT by two fans, Leon and Charlie. Nick replied with a single letter, which Stephen Fry joined us to read at the 10th anniversary Letters Live show at London’s Royal Albert Hall in November 2023.
Thanksgiving is a great time to connect with the important people in our lives. Being surrounded by friends and family while enjoying delicious food and making unforgettable memories is the epitome of what Thanksgiving is all about.
There’s so much going on; it’s hard sometimes to keep up with everything and everyone. That’s why it’s best to follow big stories on this website’s Posts and Updates section. After all, this is where my stories originate, so you can’t get any closer than here :-).
Mark your calendar. The date is confirmed for the official LUSTER Art Exhibition launch at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky, to unveil my two supersized artworks celebrating Corvette’s 70th anniversary as America’s Sports Car.
This year’s Specialty Equipment Manufacturers Association Show was the biggest, baddest, best car show I’ve ever attended.
The LUSTER Exhibition, hosted by the San Angelo Museum of Fine Arts​ has been extended at the Blue Buffalo Art Gallery through February 14, 2024 with an impressive showing of automotive and motorcycle artworks.
