I could easily stuff them, so they look bigger, but I don’t do that.

I’m conscious when I’m making it to be more real. “Yeah, I guess when I’m creating it, I’m not trying to make it look just pretty, or make the perfect penis. Is the crocheting some sort of outlet for you? To treat people that don’t match society beauty standards, not nicely. I think I will always have some sort of issue with this, because that’s the way society is.

“I don’t think I’ve fully learned how to cope with it, and I think it’s something I might never fully learn how to cope with. I want to push a message of body positivity, because I know what it feels like.” I’m a bigger guy and I find it difficult to fit in with those kinds of groups. And I’m the complete opposite and I think that comes from me not being in a conventionally attractive body. Another thing I noticed is a lot of people in a group of friends all tend to look the same, almost like clones.

“Something that I find in the queer community, queer men in particular, is how body image is just put so high up on people’s priorities that often they don’t actually get to know a person. What does this theme mean to you personally? That these are something that is made up, and I find them really boring.” I think it’s important to show that there are no set beauty standards.

Making people feel comfortable in their own skin and celebrating being different. Is there a message you want to convey with your creations? It’s very easy for me to be in my head so that’s why I only like to do it when I’m feeling good. Crocheting is very meditative and when I’m doing it, I can’t do other things. “If I were doing it non-stop it would take a few days, but I usually give myself a couple of weeks to finish it. How long does it take to finish one cock? I don’t think I’ve fully learned how to cope with shitty comments about my body” I don’t have a set pattern, so every cock sock is completely unique and customized.” Making sure that you can see the head can sometimes get quite difficult.

During the first lockdown another artist approached me, asking if I could make one for him, but one that he could actually wear. But I wanted to do more 3D stuff and the first thing I wanted to try, because I thought it would be funny, was a penis. “I started making things like wash cloths and little square things. I’m always inspired by my ex’s mom’s creativity.”Īnd crotcheting cocks, how did that happen? When my ex’s mom came to visit for Christmas in 2018 I got her to show me a couple of things and I basically started from there. I think that comes from growing up with my mom being a dress maker. Working with fibers and textiles is something I was always drawn to.

“My ex-partner’s mom is an artist and she had been crocheting some really cool things like amigurumi that she sometimes gifted us and I was just really inspired by it. What made you start crocheting in the first place? And yes, a pic for reference is most welcome. He makes them customized to your dick or to your flavor, right down to the veiny details and the shape of the head. And that’s exactly where his cock socks, willy warmers, woolly willies, or whatever you want to call them come in. Crochet supplies within reach and his cat Clover asking for attention.īrett’s art is all about making people feel comfortable in their own skin. We meet on Zoom right after Brett is home from his day job, seated on his couch. During the day the Melbourne resident works as an office administrator, but when his shift is over he gets right back to his project: crocheting socks for cocks. Obviously Brett Walker (34) didn’t stand a chance against all the creativity and craftmanship surrounding him while growing up, so now he is an artist himself. The Paris police declared they were "so obscene that even to pronounce the titles would be to commit an indecency".His dad was a carpenter, his mom a dress maker who used half of his bedroom as her sewing room. As well as Moulin's soft-focus pubescent girls with vestigial breasts dressed as Bedouin maids, there were more explicit under-the-counter daguerreotypes of amateur teenage girls which got him a month in prison. Delacroix himself used Eugene Durieu's nude photographs.īut sometimes "artistic nudes" became dirty pictures. Often these pictures were described as "artistic nudes" and were registered at the Bibliotheque Nationale as study materials for painters. The respectable pioneers of French photography, Auguste Belloc and Felix-Jacques Moulin for example, ran lucrative occult trades in pornography. Pornography and erotica predated the camera - blushing art historians may under pressure confess that Titian's Venus of Urbino is clearly masturbating - but the new image-capture technology of the nineteenth century increased the supply and demand for both.
