Picus Dickus: The Dick Pic Calendar
How It All Began
I was sitting having ice cream in Newtown with my girlfriends Amy, Rona and Anna on a Thursday night after dancing.
Naturally, we ended up chatting about dick pics. Together we came up with the idea that there should be more creative dick pics.
Like > If you are sending us a picture, show us you are fun, innovative and playful. But. Also. Show us your junk.
I realized "I know life models from holding life drawing. I could actually make this happen. I could make dick pics."
Amy thought this was fantastic and asked me to make it happen.
So far I have made 6 pictures over 2 shoots. They are up on the tumblr.

The blog brings a lot of people joy. Most people I show have a great lol and always ask me "How?!"
This kickstarter is a way for me to keep funding the shoots to make the pictures.
WHY WHY WHY
Why should I back this ridiculous project?!
This project combines 3 of the best things in the world.
Art. Puns. Nudity.
Our bodies are amazing. Including our genitals.
Let's celebrate how beautiful we are in our entirety and have a lol.
Also. The Romans used to hang penises everywhere. Why is that not a thing anymore? Can we start a "#bringbackthephallus" ?
How The Funds Will Be Used
What's My Budget?
Costs are:
- Model. Sydney Life Modelling Society recommends $30AUD an hour for life models wage. I can make 3 solid dick pic pun creations in an hour. That's a total model cost of $120AUD
- Props. As an illustrator I really enjoyed the challenge of trying to make all the set up in the photographs from found objects and props instead of drawing everything myself. Some of the things I have found on my dick pic adventures include the horse for the unicorn picture. And yes. I cut a hole in the side of it's face for that picture.
I have approximated $50AUD for props. I will definitely spend more than that, but I will pay for any additional myself.
- Calendar printing and binding costs. $15AUD for each calendar.
As each calendar costs $15AUD to make, I'll be making $10AUD off each calendar. To break even and cover the costs listed above, if 17 people want more dick pics in their lives I can cover the $170AUD I need for props and models.
PENILE PLAN
A Schedule
This Kickstarter will end on the 2nd December 2015.
I have scheduled the following week to be free. If this project goes ahead I will smash it out every hour of that week to get the calendar complete and sent off to arrive to everyone before Christmas.
Shipping inside of Australia will be max 5 business days.
Australia Registered Post International most other countries is 3-10 business days.
So calendars ordered in Australia will arrive 13th December 2015 at the latest. Calendars being shipped internationally will arrive 19th December 2015 at the latest.
The Challenges
Mainly risking loss of respect and dignity.
