What is it with the cock drawings in snow? Really? Are they that interesting?
That is base "bro" mentality. Thinking with their dicks is all they can do, esp. after a few beers. IMO, bros are the Neanderthals of modern society, trying to drag us back to a cruder, dumber time.
Who said art is dead? See, The Penistrator is alive and well. He’s a true leader of the Hard On movement, which emphasizes strong brush strokes and a minimalist, Haring-like focus on simplicity and iconic symbolism. It’s just too bad that the all of his work melts before some collector can buy it.
I loved Cold War too! So glad it is an EVG favorite.
Yes. Snow peens are that interesting. Clearly you are unfamiliar with the East Village's annual winter solstice snow peen parade, when people march through the streets with dildos strapped on their heads. Why do you hate fun?
Not to be confused with the other "Cold War," a comedy released in 2018 about a couple stuck at home with the flu.
Heh. Snow peen!
There is a dickhead in every crowd....this one left his calling card graphically because he is so dumb he cannot spell his name....
D-I-C-K-H-E-A-D....just sound it out.
But is it art?
YES SNOW PEEN IS ART.
