Thomas Cook
1993 to 2009, and the pile of art that has piled up.


I remember being very young when a friend of my family told me that I someday would become an artist. I loved to make things and never stopped, until I decided to go to Mechanical Engineering College when my creative thoughts where lost behind tolerances and mathematic formulas. To be honest, back then I had no idea what I wanted to be, and for years I punched the clock forty hours a week in a warehouse job. I was lucky though, I was surrounded amongst many incredible local artisans. My sketch book would slowly be open more and the creative process woke up from years of napping. In 2001 my twin brother Andrew and I changed our direction in life to begin careers in the art world. Maine College of Art showed us the way. I majored in painting yet always wanted to get my thoughts and hands in every medium I could. From print to sculpture, painting to graphic design, I want to share with all of you all the different things that I've created over the years. Over the next several months I'll be adding work from my past, if the work is for sale you should buy it, just kidding, I'll post the price and or Not For Sale. I'll do my best to put them in order from oldest to most recent, however I keep finding older work in the pile of piles! Enjoy!
