Description:
An annotated photographic collection of naïve, instinctive, phallic treet grafitti. No-one knows, or cares, why people (generally men) succumb to the urge to draw their bits in public places, but it makes us smile. The drawings are “wonderfully infantile”, comic, phallic genius. Nobs-and-balls represent a long tradition, an international instinct: artful representations of nobs-and-balls date back over 25,000 years. Every nob-and-balls is an (ironically) impotent mark of rebelliousness drawn by flippant, cocksure artists.
