  • "Mighty Resignation" Black and White Contemporary Drawing by Mac Mechem
    Located in Pasadena, CA
    This Mac Mechem's drawing features a seated nude man draped in a small loincloth. Sitting in a wood-crafted chair, his gaze fixed downward as though he were brooding over some bad news. Despite the defeatist posture, his physique radiates a stark contrast—the sculpted body exudes strength and athleticism through pronounced abdominal lines, robust thighs, and defined biceps.

Mac Mechem, a figurative contemporary painter...
