Bickus

charcoal pencil on paper, 43x59cm.
This is one of my most favourite images drawn from the model James. I can remember the first time I met and drew him. He is about the same height as me, although a bit slimmer, and when he took his clothes off and turned into this pose I gasped at the size of his penis. "Lucky Bastard" I thought! I looked up at the other artists in the room but no-one else made any comment. What can you do? You just have to admire, and get on with the drawing.
The title comes from the film "Life of Brian" when Pontius Pilate, played by Michael Palin, is talking about some of his friends in Rome such as Incontinetia Buckets, and Bickus Dickus!!!!
