Jack O'Hara

Welcome to view my large scale artwork online.
Author of Diary of a Scotty-Dog! Cartoon books.
On reflection my recent work looks confusing, emotionally charged, visceral & layered- maybe it has something to do with my eye op last year- I know this because my books & the way they've been produced is different also- life goes on.
