<p>Patrick (Mac) McSweeney was a career Navy man.  He lives now in the quiet town of Chenoa, Illinois, about one hour north of Springfield.  In retirement, he cultivated an interest in colored pencil drawing.  When he put his two passions together, drawing and honoring the military, a beautiful thing happened.  He found that his art could elicit emotion, honor the soldiers, and raise funds, too.</p>
<p>The walls of the local Chenoa Family Restaurant just off Hwy 55  are full of his matted and framed art.  He sells prints through his website at <a title="Chief Mac Ink Military Art" href="http://www.chiefmacink.com" target="_blank">www.chiefmacink.com</a>.  Through a chance meeting, Get Promoted has started to collaborate with Mac, producing his original art work on mugs, plaques, t-shirts, and other items.  To order prints from Mac, go to his website.  To have an item custom-made with Mac&#8217;s designs, contact Mac or Get Promoted through their websites to discuss your project.  Any of the artwork can have a personalization area for your favorite soldier.</p>
<p>Chief Mac Speaks:</p>
<p><em><span style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #000099; font-size: small;">&#8220;My graphics producer and I have committed $3.00 from each poster that is sold, and 15% from each post card that is sold to be collected and donated to Military Families in distress with wounded soldiers.</span></em></p>
<address><span style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #000099; font-size: small;">All of my drawings are hand-designed by me and produced in Central Illinois (Bloomington and Chenoa). My productions have been given approval by many active duty National Guard and reserve Military personnel, who suggested ways in which my drawings could gain even more heart with a caricature all their own.&#8221;  &#8230;.<span style="color: #000000;">excerpt</span><span style="color: #000000;"> from Chief Mac&#8217;s website.</span></span> </address>
