You can tell an O'Connell image from as far as you can see it, which is high praise indeed. As a recipe for quasi-traditional skin illustration, it can't be beat. Chubby composition, clear and easy to read, and eyeball-friendly. Plus- and this can't be overstated for it's vaule-he knows his imagery playbook. You gotta love it."

"These tattoos are the bee's knees. They harken back to an era where a tattoo was a Tattoo. This book is a testament to a prolific illustrator whom respects the art, craft, and heritage of ink so much he might just be the guy to save it."
Illo. Magazine
"O'Connell's art is reminiscent of the classic tattoo designs from masters such as Sailor Jerry Collins and Don Ed Hardy, but features O'Connell's distinctive surrealistic style and profoundly warped sense of humor. Whether you are a tattoo aficionado or not is irrelevant, as this collection of drawings should appeal to anyone interested in contemporary comics, hot chicks, surrealism, or just-plain-strange.
