Side Projects



Sometimes you need to work on a project just because it is fun. Most of my work has either a political or personal attachment to it. Even my illustrations are rooted in the history of American tattoo, Irish history or the art of photography. This one started out simple. Swimming with my dogs, tossing a tennis ball and taking pictures from under water. It is one of the most fun and freeing projects I have ever done. Perhaps it has something to do with the alien feel of the world obscured by the reflections, refractions, bubbles, ripples or truncated limbs of my dogs hanging in a blue limbo. Or it could just be that it is fun to swim with my dogs.
