Danny Cooke launched a 15 minute documentary of the making of the John Mayer [album artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/albumcover-ai). The gorgeous artwork and the interactions between the musical artist John Meyer and the [visual artist](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pointillism) David A. Smith is vibrantly exhibited.

It is very intriguing to observe the artful connections these two artists from different mediums have had and eventually cultured. Both of their artwork, interests and perspectives are very similar and complementing.

David A. Smith's art is very detailed and although seemingly outdated, it is intensely appreciated by John Meyer.

Danny Cooke has done a spectacular job on exhibiting the two artists' conversations over Skype and the gradual completion of the artwork: a feat that is not always easy to do.
