16 October 1890 – 22 August 1922

"He railled men from far ans wide
To join the rebellion that lay ahead
His murder squad was formed in earnest
The secret service soon lay dead
In reprisal the British army killed
Innocent people watching a hurling game
That day would become a turning point
Irish psyche would never be the same"

Cheer, ahoy, hurray! It's sad to say I must be on me way! So buy me beer and whiskey 'cause I'm going far away! Today its 85 years since Michael Collins died, Irish liberation hero. In memory of him *salute*
I had a very clear idea how I wanted this picture to look and I tried not to gaze to much on the similar photo that exists of him. I didn't want to spoil the picture with to much computer shadowing, so that is why it looks like that.
