I’m still in awe. It was an absolute honor to have my work displayed at the Executive Residence in Wisconsin. Felt like a dream — and the boys had a blast on the tour too! Huge thanks to @museumofwiart for recommending me, and to the Executive Residence for this incredible opportunity. The exhibit’s up until November 26 — check it out and show some love! Also gotta BIG shout out to @monroestreetframing for those beautiful frames. Go see them and tell ’em Mack Bo sent you! 😂 And don’t forget to follow me — more coming soon! 🙌 . . #addictivescribbles #WisconsinArt #BlackArtistsMatter #ContemporaryArt #ExecutiveResidence #FamilyAndArt #ArtExhibition #SupportLocalArtists #MackBoArt @govevers

I used to think you had to sound sure to be taken seriously. But I’m learning — showing up matters more than sounding perfect. Even when the voice shakes, the truth still lands. Comment ❤️❤️❤️ if you’ve ever had to speak through fear for something that mattered. . . . #IfItMovedYou #SpeakYourTruth #ShowUpAnyway #GrowthInProgress #HealingThroughArt #VoiceMatters #ArtistJourney #PoetryInMotion #CreativeGrowth #VulnerableArt #ArtThatSpeaks #ReelPoetry #InspirationDaily #MentalHealthAwareness #AuthenticExpression @overturegalleries #addictivescribbles #EmotionalStorytelling

I’ve been a stay-at-home dad and working from home for over a decade now. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do—to be able to watch my kids grow and be there for them when they need me. But I’ve found myself doing more for my kids than I do for myself at times. In the process, I’ve also felt like I lost a piece of myself. Everything I do is to teach and guide my kids, but not having that human connection with others while working from home changes you. You start to lose that person who was once inside. So I decided to try the thing I’ve always wanted to do since high school: join a boxing gym. I’ve been taking classes for about two weeks now, and I’ve found that thing I was missing. I feel like I’ve found myself again. So I want to give a big thank you to @jjsboxingwrestling for helping me find that missing piece.

It was a beautiful day to walk around and explore State Street, and to take a few photos of some of my artwork currently up in the Rotunda Gallery at the @overturecenter My oldest wanted to take a few photos too, which made it even better. A big thank-you to @monroestreetframing for framing these so beautifully. I’m grateful to the @overturegalleries for the opportunity to share my work in such a beautiful space. . . . #addictivescribbles #madisonart #madisonwi #overturegalleries #rotundagallery

As a dad — I want my boys to know that there isn’t a mountain that they can’t climb or fly above. As long as they keep flapping their wings and keep flying higher than that horizon. This piece is called “Above The Horizon”. Be sure to like and share to see more.

I couldn’t be in two places at once. So I chose my son… and found another way to tell my story. Through The Eyes Of Me Watch at mackboross.com . . #addictivescribbles #shortfilm #visualstorytelling #indiefilm #throughtheeyesofme

When you see art displayed in a gallery, it often feels elevated, clean, intentional, and confident. That effect isn’t by accident. It comes from thoughtful framing choices designed to let the artwork speak first. We can achieve this through a variety of options, but most often this stems from: • a simple, minimal frame profile • generous mat spacing to create visual breathing room • archival materials that protect the artwork long-term • neutral or complementary tones that keep attention on or boost features of the art This type of framing works especially well for photography, prints, and contemporary artwork because it creates a museum-like presentation. The goal is to make the artwork feel important, including on the walls of your own home. 🎨: @mackboross

Thank you to the Wisconsin Governor’s Mansion for the opportunity to share my work in such a beautiful and historic space. I’m still in disbelief and truly honored to have my work displayed here. Thank you @govevers and the Governor’s Office for supporting local artists. And a special thank you to @monroestreetframing for framing these pieces so beautifully. . . #addictivescribbles #art #artist #exhibition #wisconsinart

As I look through the black abyss, my mind is drawn blank. My conscious mind doesn’t exist, judgement begins to stare. Just a void of hollowness, I wonder why I exist. Vacate my soul and sorrow, giving my heart to a heartless soul. To be judged by the void, of emptiness.
