El Mac, otherwise known as Miles MacGregor is an artist born in L.A. His vivid and detailed portraits are his calling card, and have gained Mac a solid following and creative praise. El Mac also specializes in murals through a desire to create art in the public space. A similar desire is shared by Vietnam The World Tour, “a movement of creative thinkers, artists, writers, performers, filmmakers, documentarians and cultural producers whose creative engagements attempt to challenge a global status quo.”
El Mac joined Vietnam The World Tour in Singapore, where they documented a start to finish creation of a new mural. The finished piece above was taken by a photograph, and also speaks to Mac’s inspiration from the Mexican and Chicano culture of Phoenix and the Southwest. From the looks of the video, the mural took a couple days to create. See the full process in the video below.
