Paul McClintock

I sell shirts through redbubble and pretend to be an artist. This site should contain all the things in existence that make me look good, and none of the other things.

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.Who could resist dressing their infants up in Nietzsche apparel?

“

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.
