Dominic Myatt is a London-based artist and tattooist scrawling contorted bodies, anguished faces, distended limbs and weeping sores with the warped freedom and startling immediacy only drawing can provide. Since his time at Goldsmiths College in London, Myatt’s work has taken various inspiration from the classically structured erotic novellas of the Marquis de Sade, as well as Surrealist Georges Bataille’s enigmatic musings on eroticism and its connections with death and sacrifice. 

His book (no kissing) was purchased by the Tate for their archive and explored men’s anonymous erotic ads posted online. Myatt has collaborated with the London fashion label ART SCHOOL and has been commissioned by Channel 4 and Vivienne Westwood.

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.
