Dominic Myatt
(no kissing) displays erotic classified ads of men looking for other men (m4m) posted on the Craigslist website. The ads, illustrated with the imagined events that may ensue, range from fervid to frank and detail and give instructions on ways which these men would like to be used, played with, loved, admired or worshipped. Dominic uses drawing to play with the line between the humour and revulsion of an outside audience and the sexual desires, fetishes of the posters and the respondents.

Penile Papers
Dominic Myatt
Penile Papers is a collection of penis drawings from a kaleidoscopic crew of contributors, from TV presenters, professional artists, musicians and designers to those in more prosaic professions, an IT consultant, a retail assistant, a pub landlady and a friend’s grandmother. Each contributor was asked simply to contribute a hand-drawn image of a penis. Snippets of text scattered throughout the book are taken from contributor’s answers to a few questions posed by Myatt - as well as some of the ‘no thanks’ emails he received in response to his original request for drawings.
The edition of 200 features 62 different penises from individuals such as Vivienne Westwood, Beth Ditto, Mica Levi, Caroline Flack, Nick Night, Andreas Kronthaler, Andrew Huang, Giles Deacon and many more. All profits from Penile Papers will be spilt equally between the Terrence Higgins Trust and the Runnymede Trust.
