Google Image Search
I think most people use Google for basic search needs, and it’s great for that. A while back I discovered a powerful tool within Google that I want to share with you all today.

Canada Oh Canada
My recent trip to Canada was inspired. Or perhaps it would be more accurate to suggest that I returned home inspired. Either way, it was a blast, and I have my friends at BIM to thank for my renewed vision, eh?

Kindred Spirits
Arizona Bike Week 2013 rocked the southwest in the true spirit and style of riders and enthusiasts alike. This annual motorcycle rally and gathering really is a fantastic event. The level of top-shelf custom motorcycles is off-the-page and I gotta say, I met the coolest people there. All that and Cave Creek is truly a slice of heaven, possessing a great personality like no place I’ve been.

Roma Cigars at En Fuego
Last evening certainly met that criteria. I indulged at En Fuego Cigar Lounge in Las Vegas with serious passion as I enjoyed not one but two Intemperance cigars from RoMa Cigars. En Fuego celebrates being the first in all of Las Vegas to carry these fantastic smokes.

Testimonial ~ Dr. E. Fred Aguilar
A.D. Cook is not an overnight success. He has learned his art through years of study and practice. He has put in the time and matured as an artist. When we look at his paintings, we see a depth that can only come from greatness.

In Loving Memory
They say a man’s dog is his best friend. I would say that is definitely true more often than not. I know that was definitely the case for me. My girl Dargo passed away this week after 13 years of love and faithful companionship.

Arizona Bike Week
I’m having a great time at Arizona Bike Week, hanging out with my buddy Steve Soffa, and enjoying the event from behind the scenes. At an expected 92 degrees, the weather tomorrow will be perfect for motorcycles, hot rods, and a day of connecting with kindred spirits.

Sublime and Oblivious
Years ago, when I moved my life and studio from Portland to Las Vegas, I left behind a collection of paintings wrapped and safely stored in a climate-controlled storage facility. Among those pieces were a couple of very special paintings that haven’t seen the light of day in years.

Forever Inspired
For all I know art was borne in the first place as a result of the great feminine beauty that has inspired artists for ages. After all, amazing goddesses have graced artists’ canvases and have been depicted in epic artworks for eternity.

Figuratively Speaking
I love figurative art – especially art nudes. There is no secret in that here. I’ve been painting the nude on canvas and metal for over a decade now. But many might not realize that I, like many, have been a fan of figurative art since I was young.

My Favorite Art Magazines
Over the last decade or so the Internet has changed magazines, mostly in providing demonstrations, painting tips, and advice in high-quality digital format, rather than in print-only format. So, with that in mind, we’ve assembled a list of great eco-friendly art magazines to assist with instruction & inspiration for your art.
