I managed do get some drawings in including a preliminary for the Muy Thai fighter fighting the tiger. So without further ado, here they are:
That’s all for now. If you want to check out more of my work go to www.rmac-art.com where I have updated my website with more current work.
Until next time

What’s going on?
It’s been some time since the last post, however I’m still cranking along.
I’ve finished a couple of more paintings for the Beastmode series and while it’s not necessarily done, I am going to take an intermission from it to work on some other ideas and to interject some variety into the mix.
So without further ado, here is the wolf painting finished, along with the lion and the stallion…
Currently I’m working on a painting of a tiger and a Muy Thai fighter going at it in a duel. I’m just doing study sketches of the tiger mostly and then the Muy Thai fighter will follow. I’ll post my progress on that in my next blog post, so look out for that.
Take care for now. Stay warm in these cold winter temps!

Inspired by battle shields ala ancient Greek/Roman times…
The wolf isn’t finished yet, but progress shots still let you see the struggle 😉
I have at least 2 more to do (for now) so enjoy these for now…I will do another post when I finish more of these.

Its been fucking hectic over here…
But nonetheless, I managed to finish a piece recently…specifically, the black monk.
Here it is for your viewing pleasure:
Due to a hectic schedule, I’m gonna keep this one short. Take care for now ☁️👑

Greetings ☁️👑
It’s been a long ass time since blogging. I’ve been so busy between work art and the gym (especially work putting in that overtime!), but rest assured I’ve been working hard on some new concepts and ideas that I would like to share. Also I got my canvas to start painting Untamed so I’m very excited about that
**BEAST MODE SERIES**
I had the idea to do paintings of some animals in a similar fashion like they have on ancient warrior’s shields. I put a more realistic spin on the animals. Here’s what I came up with so far:
I’m not sure how many more I will do but I’ll definitely do a couple more.
**BLACK MONK**
I decided to fuck around and do an illustration of a black monk just because. Bald and dangerous he is with the nunchakus. Watch out! Its not quite dont yet but it is a work in progress. Check it out:
That’s all for now. I will be continuing to put more content out as the months go by. I’m getting ready for a showing Nov 10& 11th so I’m aiming to have more out by then. Take care for now.

Good morning ☁️👑
This is some of my recent work. The Untamed study is finished and I also completed a tiger study. Enjoy!
The tiger studies is for an upcoming painting…
Meanwhile, ill be starting the canvas painting portion of Untamed this weekend.
For now, take care and stay tuned for future blog entries!

Greetings :
Granted this painting is not done yet, I have the underpainting study version done and I’m just working out the colors now…
I wanted to create a powerful and uninhibited type of work that reflects on what it’s like to not give a fuck of what people think about you or even what society thinks about you.
So without further Ado, Here is the underpainting for Untamed…
What better way to do it than with stallions, (aka uncastrated horses)? The genitals hanging out on the rearing horse helps drive the point home while the lightning helps reinforce their strength and power with utmost certainty.
Next to follow will be the color. That’s for a different blog post though. It’s time for me to get going. I’ve got to get started on the day.
Take care for now ☁️👑

Good Morning ☁️👑
It’s another day that has begun and what better thing to do than blog a new art entry? So here we go.
Recently, I finished a commission for a friend and I just wanted to post it here for your viewing pleasure. This has nothing to do with the current body of work I am focusing on, but it does scream of contrasts and duality which is what is usually prevalent in my work anyway.
I unfortunately havent seen my friend yet so i still have the piece. Since this piece, I’ve sworn off commissions for a while, so that I can concentrate on my current body of work.
As I’ve said in the previous post, I’m working on a painting of 2 stallions. Currently it’s in the color study phase , so its safe to say it’s moving along. I’m going to get moving as well and start my day. Take care for now!

I’ve meant to post this for a while…
This is the final version of the Roman helmet study I posted a while back, re rendered on a 16x 20 canvas. I’ve since renamed this piece. Here is the final result:
It looks pretty badass I think. This is the direction I’m going in with my work…a more agressive, masculine energy oriented style of expression. It is reflective as my journey of trying to improve and develop myself as a man, and as such my art will reflect that. Its like a warrior’s quest with all of it’s highs and lows.
Currently, I am working on a painting of 2 stallions and I will post that when I get far enough to a point that I feel it is worth posting. Take care for now ☁️👑

…But you can avenge it.
This is an idea that I’ve pondered for a long time.
When you have regrets/bitterness about chances you never took, people who fucked you over or respect you never got, you eventually get to a place where you get fucking pissed off enough about it that you say ‘Enough is enough!’ Destroy all roadblocks in your way .and go get what you fucking want.
It’s a thing i see in life a lot of times that people just stop fighting for their happiness and walk away from creating a world that they would like to live in. I tell myself that I will not have that fate.
So the nature of this piece is just that. To shake off past defeats and reawaken the inner inferno that was filled with life , purpose and direction.
The knife represents the tools youre armed with to navigate this complex world while the blood on the knife represents the challenges and the battles of life. Lately, I’ve been trying to look at conflicts in life as nothing more than tests to see where your “armor” has weaknesses in them and it’s definitely helped a lot in my own life.
That’s all for now. I have one more piece I have to finish before my show on Saturday. I am confident I will get it done.
Until next time,
R.Mac
