When it comes to art, provenance matters. Today, more than ever, the story behind an artwork is as important as the art itself. Art theft is at an all-time high in this digital age of easy duplication and distribution of imagery. As an artist, that is why I go to extremes to provenance my creations.
Friday, January 21, 5:00-6:30 PM Museum of the Rockies members will have the opportunity to preview the new changing exhibition, LUSTER: Realism and Hyperrealism in Contemporary Automotive and Motorcycle Painting. As an exhibiting artist, I feel truly privileged to showcase
Brilliantly Safe for Content & Links. I’m honored to share that the ADCook.com website has received a Sur.ly award for Internet safety.
28%* of You are Reading this on Your SmartPhone (I know that because Google tells me so). That’s why the ADCook.com website has been mobile-friendly for a long-time, since early 2011. That’s when I first became aware of WordPress responsive websites. WordPress made creating sites more flexible, from a creator’s perspective, while creating a better user experience for visitors.
Special Thanks to The Lyman Allyn Art Museum for a Great Run! LUSTER has arrived in Bozeman, Montana, and will open at The Museum of The Rockies on January 22 for display through May 1, 2022.
Cancel culture strikes again!
More and more, my art videos are being age-restricted by YouTube (aka Google).
In today’s Internet world, an artist has to be a creative entrepreneur, a web designer, and a marketer, along with a lot of other skills to succeed on any level, both online and on the Internet. It can be a lot to keep up with and still make time to create art. For years, I relied on Alexa.com to keep me informed of my website’s status and have continuously increased my global and US rankings.
Just recently, I updated this website to include News Feeds from my favorite sources on art news, cryptocurrency, Las Vegas, luxury and lifestyle, museum updates, and NFTs. Each of the categories has a selection of trust industry feeds. Check out your favorite sources and keep up on their newsworthy stories, all in one place.
As we wrap up an old (and tired) year, I can’t help but be excited for what lies ahead. 2021 was my year to return to the studio. I’m back at the easel with a renewed vision and a deeper passion for creating new art!
What a year 2021 has been. In some ways, it was a year of regrouping and adjusting to what many refer to as “the new normal.” Normal? What is normal, anyway? From an artist’s perspective, it’s business as usual. Change is inevitable. Change is good.
