Which artist I would be...



If I could be any artist I would be El Mac. He is a great photo realist and street artist. I would love to have talent to be able to render such realistic images. A lot of his images center around latino heritage and celebrating latina women. I like how his images look like they are photoshopped but they are done with paint. It would be amazing to be commissioned to make beautiful murals such as the one above in LA. It is like 15 minutes away from my house and I have always admired it. I would like to have talent like his and have my street art shown in a legitimate way where people now pay me to  put my art on the street to be seen by a huge number of people. I like how public the canvas is. I would love to have both this artists skill and his job. i love the intricate details and how he embodies chicano culture.
