Second night of work; three or four hours.

I started this today. The purpose is to win me a new Wacom Intuos4, although that’s really just an excuse. It’s been several hours already, but this is a single sitting so far.

Who could resist dressing their infants up in Nietzsche apparel? What a perfect way to express to the rabble at the park how little meaning there is in playing on a see-saw ever since God died.

By the way, all my shirts are now available for miniature humans so you don’t have to choose something totally inappropriate for their social development. There are plenty of perfectly reasonable designs that won’t confuse them or their playmates.

Have a look.

Check it out! Stickers for sale! 50% off if you buy 6 or more. Stick them to your fridge, stick them to your car, stick them to your boss’s fat head! Stickers go everywhere, suit every occasion and taste great!*

On the off chance that someone buys some, I ask that you post a photo of your stickers stuck somewhere awesome. It’s only fair.

*Warning: Do not ingest stickers; may be fatal.

Another, from the same series. (reference)

Another one… munged up the hand and a few other things.

Foreshortening! The bane of my existence.

Digital painting, a couple of hours.

More complicated is the case of Paul McClintock’s Idealised Asymmetrical Self-Portrait (sic); he is the one who observed that it is the last year he can be considered young. Here we see a young man’s face, wearing some kind of cap or hood, looking at us with the rather blank stare of one who is scrutinising himself in a mirror. Whereas Morrow manages to look out at the viewer with a quizzical if contained engagement, McClintock is caught in the loop of self-absorption.

What is particularly interesting about this work is, once again, its sexual ambiguity. It is obviously the face of a young male, yet the youthful beard seems only to emphasise the big eyes and full lips, while the backward tilt of the head, reducing the prominence of the nose, lends the whole face a still more feminine quality.
