CREATOR
I’m excited to share something new from the studio and a departure regarding my figurative metal creations. ELYSIAN DREAM started as a simple little sketch over a cold beer. I must have been drawn to the shapes because I sketched them several times over a few sessions before finally power grinding and sanding metal and beginning to paint. But once I got started, the artwork flowed like a dream.
Two years after photographing my model/muse for my latest metal fine art nude, the artwork is now finished and ready for my collector’s home.
My newest original life-size metal fine art nude is inspired by a beautiful muse and the timeless Fibonacci Sequence. ETERNAL’s creation is an explorative journey that forever changes my metal art creations going forward.
Few people know that my INDIAN SUMMER motorcycle painting experienced a colossal disaster halfway through creating it. So did BACKDRAFT, one of my better-known life-size fine art nudes.
Life is not about how many times one falls. We all fall. What is more important is how many times we get back up. That reality is a truism for life and creativity for everyone alike.
It’s been a while since I posted anything about my current artwork on the easel. ETERNAL, my lifesize metal fine art nude that I started over a year ago, has quite a story, and she’s not even finished.
Twenty-twelve was a prolific year for me. Over that year, I created a stainless steel metal wall art (Ascension) and painted four canvas life-size and more giant fine art nudes, including; Truth, Ascendant, Jubilee, Premier, and Nirvana, and wrapped it up with a series of abstract artworks. Please read my post from 2012 for the complete list.
Creating a Video Archive page has been on my To-Do list for some time. With all the changes happening with YouTube and action to limit my videos to account holders only, I figured now was the time to fix that mess.
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!
Inspired by my muse’s elegant lines and the golden ratio, this creation is the first of a new series of original life-size contemporary metal art nudes created by scratch.
Ever had one of those dreams as a kid to one day have your art featured on an album cover? I did. It was one of those things that I thought might be cool one day.
Honored to share that A.D. Cook is a featured artist on ModelSociety.com. Honored because the level of creative artists, models, and photographers on this website is impressive. I’ve shared a collection of my figurative art nudes on the ModelSociety website for a few years, so I’ve had the pleasure of watching the site grow and mature.
