Thomas McNamara otherwise known as Macky has been making art for as long as he can remember winning sculpting contests as early as junior high At 11 his father got him a lead soldiermaking kit Thats when art was introduced and it quickly became evident that it was to be his purpose in life At 11 he could melt the lead in a small pot pour it into molds and paint the little figurines These soldiers were often given to his parents friends The response was wild the adults all loved them As a boy this was real validation for a child surrounded by intimidating booksmart people The art carried Macky into all the art classes at Cardinal Newman high school His love for lead figure painting continued to grow during this period It was the MTV generation which Macky believes also had a huge impact on him Since then there have been many great moments including showcasing Mackys art on two episodes of MTVs PUNKd which featured Ashlee Simpson and Hugh Jackman rnrnMutt has been the label for Mackys passion since 1997 Just recently Mutt donated a customized 3foot skateboard to the Rush foundation a charity created to send kids to art school It was a huge honor for Macky to be able to be a part of such a worthy charity Courtesy of Thomas McNamara on MOLI.com
