Macarthur began his artwork drawing anime characters inspired by comics and cartoons. He started to draw more realistically and detailed and photorealistic when he got older. He carries a sketchbook with him everywhere which he said show his "dedication" to art. He said it helps him to better his figures and make them more realistic. He is inspired by fellow artists such as Alphonse Mucha, Klimt, Lucian Freud, Jenny Saville, James Jean, David Choong Lee, Sergio Toppi and Ashley Wood. The artist uses mostly pencil and watercolor. i really like his limited pallette because that means that any color he uses will really stand out. I think this also keeps the viewer from focusing on just the colors. I really like his pieces because they evoke emotion out of me.
