Tenacity is another word for determination. It means starting something and finishing it.
And then there’s talent, defined as “a natural endowment or ability of superior quality,” most commonly referred to or mentioned in the competition.
The En Fuego Cigars & Lounge + Body Art + Art Event was a blast! Friday nights in Las Vegas are always fun, but this one took it up a notch. We painted. We laughed. We enjoyed fantastic cigars.
It’s no secret that I love cigars…
and the beautiful ladies, body art, and a good time. The En Fuego Cigar event promises to be all that. After all, where you smoke is as important as what you smoke.
I’m honored to appear in the September 2012 issue of ModelsMania, featuring an interview and a selection of my newest paintings. This great lifestyle magazine focuses on modeling, music, photography, and now art. This prestigious publication enjoys global circulation and features some of the most beautiful women in the world.
Writer Steve Connolly interviews A.D. Cook for Tradeshow Lifestyles, Las Vegas – celebrating timeless beauty by creating fine art nudes.
I know it sounds funny, but we’ve all heard it… “I’m looking for art to compliment my couch.” In the process of selecting a piece of fine art, have you ever caught yourself saying something like this?
Beauty inspires me. I seek grace in the lines and form of the female figure – to me, the ultimate beauty. There is nothing I would rather paint, and my art reflects that classical ideal.
Owning original art is an enjoyable experience. Participating in its creation brings that experience to a whole different level. Collaboration in the creation of art is a union of energies – a creative energy exchange.
Throughout my career, I’ve enjoyed creating realistic iconic imagery of a wide variety of passions in many different genres including those in motorcycle, automotive and aircraft. I portray these passions in epic original one-of-a-kind contemporary paintings on canvas and metal.
Airplane paintings and motorcycle art… While known most recently – at least over the last decade or so – for my realistic figurative paintings, I cross paths with folks on occasion who aren’t aware of my previous artworks.
On August 3rd, I had the pleasure of appearing on live radio as a guest on the Hot Head Happy Hour.
Sometimes it’s fun to reflect back on an era past. During my five years (1989 – 1994) as Hollywood Video’s creative director and resident artist I created over a hundred hand-painted wall murals – most measuring upwards of ten feet tall.
