Penile Art.

He's not just a poet. Pricasso also paints with his penis. He's 'done' Ron Paul and other world leaders. This is not a self-link, but it is a tad NSFW.

An overview of the artist:

1977 Migrated to Australia from the United Kingdom.

First mistake.

1978 - 1982 Exhibiting Woodcarving & Art in Galleries.

First began working with wood.

1983 - 1984 Various Sculpting Commissions.

Also known as tree surgery. More work with wood.

1985 - 2002 Began "Hellfire Pottery" Ceramic and Pottery.

Second mistake. Left the wood.

2002 - 2006 Started work on "Gaudi" style home and Art Gallery.

Began a slow return to wood.

2004 - 2006 Portrait and Caricature Artist.

Detoured again from wood. Third and last mistake.

2005 - 2006 "PENILE ART" Exhibitions and Performing Art.

100% wood all the time. (Money not bad either.)

2006 Pricasso the Artist was Born.

Sells out. Looses self-identity. Completely embraces the wood.

The penis mightier than his word?

Thought experiment time:

Close your eyes for a moment and imagine all great classic art was created this way. Then how would we view Van Gogh? Monet? Mondrian? Jackson Pollock? Anguissola?

I assumed a lot of art was created by dicks.

Christ, what a dick.

Reminds me of a red white n blue papier mache some college chums made for art class. Named it "Jasper Johnson."

Also: holy crap.

I can see that there might be a market for this stuff in Australia. ;-)

I wonder what he had to do with Sin Cities? Appeared on an episode, perhaps? I love Ashley Hames but Grub Smith sucks.

gman... of course it isn't a "self link"..... 'cuz his easel is at least 4 feet high, and we know that you, well, you know.... it's an issue of reach, don't you know...

Ron Paul? "World leader?"

Ron Paul is a world leader? A nutball texan congressman is hardly in the same league as Kofi Annan. Wow, its just incredible how much "internet people" love this Paul character. Ah, I remember when young men were crazy about Ralph Nader and handmade taffy. Good times. Good times.

His charcoal drawings all look like studies from porn.
posted by Esoquo at 7:15 AM on February 11, 2008

I guess that's like "mixing his paints" before beginning his "real work".
posted by Esoquo at 7:16 AM on February 11, 2008

I don't want to think about the next step after that.

sorry. ron paul can be found under the 'male nudes' section.

Wow... actor, poet AND painter... Owen Wilson is amazing.
posted by mecenday at 8:07 AM on February 11, 2008

I fear for his fluffers, faces all covered in paint.

I liked his charcoal sketches (actually done by hand) best. Amidst Aphrodite, Athena, Eros and Hades can be found...Brad?!

Pricasso??? I prefer pugcasso.
But for the record, there is a long tradition of phallic talent applied to the arts. (NSFW)

okay. but what i really want to know is if he protects his urethra, because putting paint in there just canna be a good thing.

3blind, you left out the best part of his resume:
"My work is exhibited in Private Collections all over the World."

It's not the nudity that offends me. It's that hat!

I would be even more hugely impressed by the works of Georgia O'Keefe, Frida Kahlo, and Grandma Moses (among others).

Why does he have paint all over his ass? Because that doesn't really work as a palette.

I think people will try anything to get noticed these days.

Not doing too well avoiding cliches, eh?

Maybe he doesn't work alone?

This guy seems to have some talent. Other penile artists I've seen on the Internet use a limited palate of simple white pigments, and are stylistically derivative of Pollock.
