Introducing Pecker, the book, the bible of bang sticks, the one stop cock shop, is the world’s biggest collection of knobs, dongs, penis pencillings and schlong scribbles.

Pecker is the brainchild of designer and visual artist Jon Bland and copywriter Louie Zeegen, we caught up with them ahead of their upcoming launch at KK Outlet this Thursday to chat bollocks:

Pecker. How did the book come about?
We lived together for a few months when Jon moved to London at the beginning of this year. After helping each other on various other projects, we decided to spend the time under the same roof producing something together. A penis book was the obvious choice.

What was your thinking behind Pecker? Is it all a clever social commentary on the domination of males in the creative industries? Or cause willies are funny?
The beautiful thing about drawing a penis is that anyone can produce a belter. It’s as simple as that really, but yeah sure, the social commentary thing works too.

The book launch is Thursday 22nd at KK Outlet, can you reveal a bit about it?
We’re taking over KK with shit loads of dicks and beer. It’ll be more like a mini exhibition than just a normal book launch. It’s a must for any penis enthusiast.

Who’s Peckers can we expect to see on show?
There are some big names that we’re super chuffed to have inside our book, such as Ian Wright, Marion Deuchars, Jean Jullien and Mike Perry, but also people who aren’t illustrators at all, just massive cock lovers. There’s a healthy mix of superstars, professionals and total novices. Cock lover no. 1 Mr Bingo has written us a lovely foreword too.

Who’s Peckers have been most impressive so far?
We’re big fans of George Heaven’s – he drew in it about 10 minutes at the Kiosk Independent Book Fair in Peckham that we had a stall at. Quick, hilarious and disgusting – the perfect pecker. We’ve had other great ones from Stella Murphy, Li-En Yeung and Leon Karssen. After seeing thousands, we are hard to shock now, so generally the more bizarre the better.

How long does it stay up for?
Just over a week, but the book will pleasure you forever. Mum’s Christmas present sorted right? www.pecker.world

Anything else to add?
We continue to receive dick every day but it’s fine – our inbox is massive. We hope it never stops: mailsack@pecker.world

Thanks Louie and Jon

13 подтверждений того, что возможности человека безразмерны — Демотиваторы — Релакс!

Cancer is hard to talk about. Our feelings about the disease will be affected by personal experience, stories from famous people, media reporting and advertising. In the latter category, the challenge for charities and health organisations lies in getting advice across to people in a way that is straightforward and easy-to-understand but still compelling.

Looking at a series of recent breast cancer awareness ads, it would seem that one perceived solution to this problem has been to place the emphasis on breasts themselves, and leave the cancer part to the tagline. A new spot from BETC Paris for Carte Noire and the Association Le cancer du sein – parlons-en! (Let’s talk about cancer!) features numerous French personalities sharing nicknames for their breasts. Beautifully shot, the film feels more like a upmarket fashion ad than a cancer awareness spot.

Also focused on the way that women describe their breasts is an ongoing campaign from UK charity Coppafeel. Titled ‘what normal feels like?’, these ads feature images of bare breasts, with words such as ‘squidgy’ and ‘peachy’ written across them. Coppafeel is a charity aimed particularly at young women (it was founded by Kris Hallenga, who was diagnosed with breast cancer at just 23), and these ads are apparently intended to encourage women to think about their breasts in non-sexual terms. If this is the case though, the use of nudity here is confusing, and again vastly overshadows the campaign’s message. And, like the CarteNoire spot, there is little information on what exactly women should be looking out for, what the danger signs actually are.

While obviously well-intentioned, there is a risk with these campaigns that the core health-awareness message gets lost, or worse, that women even feel offended by them. Other breast cancer campaigns emphasising sexiness or innuendo have been even more blatant – ‘No Bra Day’, an initiative apparently created by breast cancer campaigners, has led to headlines such as ‘Set your girls free’ in the press, which raises the question of who exactly it is aimed at. For women such an approach can feel boring, objectifying, and patronising. (I wonder too how these campaigns might feel to women who have already been diagnosed with breast cancer and undergone surgery. Is there a danger that an emphasis on the sexiness of breasts may actually be painful for breast cancer sufferers, instead of supportive?)

Perhaps an alternative approach might be to talk to women about breasts as if they are another body part, rather than one that is always bound up in sex. Humour could still be used – it is after all a powerful way of imparting difficult information – though it is interesting to read that recent reports have shown that awareness of breast cancer has also risen since Angelina Jolie spoke publicly about her decision to have a double mastectomy, a sign that we are also able to cope with serious discussion of the disease too.

Jolie’s ‘Diary of a Surgery’ in the New York Times highlighted the need to be pragmatic around cancer, to be aware of the risks and not fear them. At no point did she try to lighten the message or to link breast cancer awareness with being sexy and fun. Because let’s face it, it isn’t.

Cycling and creative propensities often go hand in hand, if the friendly fleet of bicycles outside the INT studios is anything to go by. A brand who knows the links between aesthetics and athletics is Fred Perry, as proved by its latest venture to commission some beautiful illustrated patches. Working with our own INT Works, five illustrators were tasked with creating a patch design based on their own city, including London, New York, Tokyo, Munich and Paris. For our home city of London, Thomas Slater depicted a very sweet little pedaler against the capital’s skyline, while Gabe Designs’ glorious Munich patch shows the German countryside reflected in a pair of shades and Damien Correll strips bustling New York down to a single arch.
