June 2005. When dad and I were driving through Co. Donegal, Ireland, near the Bloody Forelands, I saw the ruins of a house. There was no roof, the paint white paint was chipped and graying, and the front of the house was painted like the Irish flag with "I.R.A." painted above the doorway. It was the only sign of the IRA I saw while I was there. I wanted a picture of it, but wasn't fast enough to roll down the car window to take it, so sometime after I got back I decided to draw it. I don't remember what the land around the house looked like... so most of the drawing is just out of my head.
