Per Artist: This work was one of the first prints created with Seiichi Hiroshima. It was about a month after Rick’s wife Julie died of breast cancer. It was not a happy time for Rick. He started with the eagle first then created the self-portrait to match up with the eagle's eye.

In 2000, Bartow told the story of The Hawk of Achill:
"An Irish epic inspired this series of images. Fintan and Cessair, Noah's granddaughter, fled the flood to Ireland. They were the first people. Fintan was an Eagle, Falcon and a Salmon. Also known as the Blind One of Assaroe, Fintan lost his eye to the Hawk."
