Welcome to Sturgis 2016

A warm greeting after a long trip from Las Vegas to the biggest motorcycle rally in the world. To say the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally 2016 is a blast would be a huge understatement.

Sturgis Motorcycle Rally 2016 ~ Skin and Bones

A few short weeks ago, I was chatting with renowned photographer Michael Lichter about this year’s Art of the Motorcycle Show at the Buffalo Chip. He offered to share one of my motorcycle paintings if I had something tattoo-inspired to show. I didn’t, but that was about the change.

DREAM 103 by A.D. Cook, motorcycle artist

Dream 103 was Meant to Be

I’m one of those guys who believes that things happen for a reason, and still believes that dreams really do come true. I’m a little old fashioned that way. A romantic of sorts. And maybe I’m a taste patriotic as well, since both my latest paintings feature stripes of red and white and stars in fields of blue.

Skin & Bones

For me, motorcycles are always art. Two of my tattoo-inspired original artworks will be showcased among thirty world-class motorcycle builders. I’m looking forward to meeting a lot of these great artists – legends in the world of custom motorcycles.

Karma Las Vegas Pre-Launch Social premiering A.D. Cook Art

First off, I love cars, so this works for me. Anytime I can share the stage with a room of exotic cars and beautiful ladies makes for a great art show. Set up in a rockin’ bar with great tequila, a ton of Karma love, some new epic artworks, a couple of artists, and on you’re got a fun party by anyone’s standard. Cool, even by Vegas standards. This is Karma Las Vegas.
