M.O.B. – Muses over Bitches (T-Shirt design)

Good afternoon!

As much as I had written a blog post about Sketchup yesterday, I realized that I should have coupled it with this blog post that I’m about to write right now..

For the most part, I believe that whatever type of art I’ve posted, it’s always been a digital print or painting or something of that nature. Well, over the past few months, I’ve also been incorporating t-shirt designs into my body of artwork. I have to say, I’ve been selling some of them.  Again, I like to use different mediums to relate to people in other ways they may not understand or care to listen to had it been in a different medium.

But I digress…This latest t-shirt concept I call it Muses over Bitches. It’s coming from a point of view of me imagining a scenario where I’m with a woman and she gets to the point where she makes me choose between her or my art craft…I think that if you’re with the right person, they will actually inspire you and inadvertently bring out the best in your work in some way while supporting you 110%. so needless to say, I would choose my art over her…bitch, bounce!.. I actually did a couple of different versions of this design which is a sculpture of a female figure without a face – one version has a backdrop and the chisel and hammer…. the other just has the statue with the flourishy portion that has the words inscribed’

MUSES OVER BXTCHES

ELEVATED INSPIRATION ‘

The other side of the meaning behind this design is a play on the word muse referencing being a goddess figure..because you know,.. so elevated we’re amongst gods (in this case, goddesses)

personally, I prefer the second one.. but the reaction to both is pretty split.

That’s all for now about that design…I haven’t decided on the final colors yet, but that will come very soon.   If you liked what you saw, please feel free to check out more at work at www.rmac-art.com

Until next time!

Sketchup -Liquid Sketches in a bottle

Good Evening!

This blog post is about an artistic concept that I came up with.. a play on words, with ketchup,
this is Sketchup. I thought to myself, what if you combined ink, pencil, paint, some drawings that you’ve
done and then add a super secret mysterious ingredient that makes the mediums interact with each other in such
a way that it creates an instant drawing when poured on any type of surface?

Preliminary sketch for SKetchup

Think about it;  You want a tattoo design mocked up, pour some on your arm.
throw some on a wall you have a mural
have a blank shirt? pour some Sketchup on it to create an instant t-shirt design!

These are some of the scenarios I’ve come up with for Sketchup. Granted, I’ve only done a picture of it essentially
introducing it to the world of R.Mac, the idea in itself has a lot of potential.

The Reason for R.Mac

Greetings. I hope everyone is well on today:

This may or may not be a lengthy blog post – however it will be
pretty heartfelt and personal.. I had put a blog post about what R.Mac is
after finally nailing down my branding and what I should call the type of art that I do… but
now the more important question which I must also answer is WHY does R.Mac
exist in the first place…

The answer: because it’s in my blood to be creative – ever since I was little…
Yet despite my talents, I felt socially unfulfilled, overlooked and misunderstood. Most “Friends” were always coming and going…It definitely made me feel jaded, cynical and after a certain point, really pent up with anger and frustration… But perhaps it meant my path was to be, for the most part, a loner(which actually became a blessing,)
I did some soul searching when I was in college while not majoring in art to realize that I was
born to be a creative.. and not just as a hobby.  Taking an elective drawing class pretty much sealed the deal.  Having perfect pitch musically and being able to create art prior to should have been a clue…

but they say if you let something go and it comes back to you, then it’s yours.

I still had to deal with people/self doubt after deciding to become an artist and burn the non creative
path choice (eventhough I did graduate)- but I also began to feel that art would be the only career to keep me sane, so I kept going…Those who had nothing to offer but a whack opinion would slowly fade into darkness..
Initially comicbooks was my first choice, but I scraped that and kept that style influence…Thanks to
friends influences, I also began to look at other style influences as well such as realism, Graffiti art, tattoo art, just to name a few. Eventually I started calling my art R.Mac (thanks to my little brother) and eventually began doing art shows. While there was still work to be done, I knew that I was on the right path.

I realize although I was smart, it was difficult to express myself verbally exactly how I wanted to especially when upset…It hyper-extended my admiration for those who were able to do so with ease. When I started putting all of my good and bad thoughts into my artwork,
I wanted my work to be like that person that was cool to be around and attractive – but not one to want to see angry.  combined that Ideal with my vivid imagination, intense emotions and you have the elements of R.Mac – raw truth, idealism & the speculative…Mind you back when I first started I didn’t know how to describe that. Turns out I was a natural at communicating my
feelings through my artwork. I finally found my true expressive platform!

R.Mac represents me getting in touch with and exuding the greatness that I am coming into because I am finally in my perfect element- Elevating my platform with my art, creating a world that I’ve envisioned essentially transforming me (figuratively) into a god – restoring the greatness that I knew I was, but couldn’t touch, into the forefront of my life. It’s like the best type of redemption. Maybe being misunderstood is just a precursor to being great. Ultimately I vision myself amongst the art greats in this world – So while this is all a future prophecy for what I intend to do, It will all come to past.

**SO ELEVATED WE’RE AMONGST GODS**
