hoho,wonderful!

Artist Reply: I actually sold this work to a woman from Cork who loved everything I did. But I lost her address since I left Ireland. I wish you could see the detail, espescially in the devil's face, because each of those bricks represents a soul in hell. I had to draw heavily on my lost rligious beliefs for all this.

Really intriguing...looks like it has some GREAT story behind it.

Artist Reply: Dear Christine, It comes from an unpublished novel of mine which never got beyond the hand-written stage. But the images are vivid in my mind. Its a pity you cant see the picture in detail because all my pictures depend on detail. The story of the picture is a shotgun wedding in a backward area of Ireland. Thanks for you comments. Frank.
