Model Society Featured Artist
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.

ADCook.com Turns 24 ~ Launched this Day in 1996
Celebrating 24 years online. ADCook.com was launched on Oct 23rd, 1996 to share A.D. Cook artworks and design. How Time Flies I still remember the excitement of creating and launching the first ADCook.com website. In retrospect, by today’s standards, it was, well… pretty funky.

The Perfect Theme for WordPress
“Let’s build a website. It’ll be fun” How many times have you thought that? Or heard that? I get that a lot from people who want to build a website and think that it just pops up overnight. That’s usually followed by an “If we build it, they will come” mindset.

Have you ever wondered how many Internet users there are in the world? Or the total number of websites in the world, emails sent today, daily Google searches? If you’re curious how many computers, smart pads, and cell phones have sold today, there is a place online where you can find out all that and more.

Google Tops 7 Billion Daily Searches in 2020
Google changed everything. Even in its earliest versions, Google was a game changer. While you had to be specific about your searches (ex: restaurant+city+___________), you did get results, and that freed us up to explore the world from our desktops. Today, only a couple decades later, you can just talk into your smartphone and ask it to “find the best 24 hour pizza,” and instantly get miles of choices for your dining pleasure.

Where Are You Going and How Can You Get There?
You’re never too old to get going and make changes. Despite the turmoil, anxiety, and crisis brought upon us by Covid-19, or perhaps, at least in part, due to it, Barney Davey is going in a different direction with new ways to be of service to the artists who follow him.

Indian Summer in Springfield
It’s like a homecoming, in a round about sort of way. Springfield, Massachusetts, is after all, where the original Indian motorcycles were manufactured from 1901 to 1953, making Springfield the home of America’s first motorcycle. It gives me goosebumps just thinking about it.

Oh No! Not Another Article on Goals
Here is a question for you, “Why do you set goals?” Most of you set goals such as losing weight, increasing sales, going to the gym, getting up earlier, getting better at organizing, etc. And the reason you set the goal?

Gary Conrad Testimonial
I had decided that I would open a Virtual Art Gallery. I began searching for the “Right” individual to help me develop this dream. Like most people, my knowledge of the internet was based on being a user rather than a developer. I have learned there is a vast difference between the two.

On-Page SEO
On-page SEO is the process of optimizing a single page on your website for search engines, whereas on-site SEO is the process of optimizing an entire website. The two types of optimization are not exclusive to each other. Off-page SEO is just a fancy term for link building and acquiring backlinks to your website.

Good Times, Charlie
It is with great sadness that I share Charlie Brechtel’s passing. As the biker bluesman founder and leader of The Charlie Brechtel Band, most knew him as a biker and singer who shared his life through music.
