Andrea Pritschow’s crocheted penises from her ‘My Hard Go On’, ‘About a Boy’ and ‘A Lover You Don’t Have to Have’ collections may bring a smile to your face. After all, they break free from ‘hardcore’ phallic symbols in that they are cute, soft and squishy.
According to Pritschow, pictures of her knitted penile art collections were censored by uber-cool MySpace, but now can be seen in full. Also, these crocheted male genital organs have been featured at exhibits and are sold in some stores.
