Peek inside Dominic Myatt’s book of fashionable ‘dick pics’
The collection of drawings is diverse in shape, size, style, and sauciness. Some are painterly and tender, others minimal and scrawled. Cartoonish or anatomical in their attempts, the drawings are printed next to their drawers’ name. Thus, whether the artist presents with male genitalia or not is immaterial – the penises become bold self-portraits.
Published by MNK Press, the drawings are also accompanied by snippets of text scattered throughout the book, taken from contributors’ answers to choice penis-pertinent questions posed by Myatt – and some of the ‘no thanks’ emails received in response.Penile Papers“I’ve always been fascinated by the way people make different marks to communicate the same ideas or messages.
“I was mostly interested in recording how different people would respond to the request for a drawing of a penis, and what their drawing would look like ... as you can see by flicking through the book, it’s anything but uniform. My favourite penises are by Vivienne Westwood and Andreas Kronthaler. Vivienne’s was delicately and beautifully drawn onto a piece of pattern cutting paper and Andreas’ marker-penned onto the back of a photocopy from the studio.
“Most people found it hilarious and were pretty eager to be involved. I asked Björk in person at the Queen Adelaide, though thrusting a notebook in her direction and over all the noise, I think she assumed I was asking for an autograph and quickly exited my vicinity. I even tried to contact some MPs via their offices but I didn’t receive any replies ... I’ve put snippets of the various responses and answers to other questions throughout the book.
“I worked on the design with Chris Colville-Walker and we decided to print it to the average dimensions of a penis, so that when it is rolled up in your hand, you have this little temporary sculptural phallus that sort of tied everything together. Even unrolled, its weight and size feel akin to a smartphone or device – one of the main channels for many people’s sexuality, especially over the past year.
