As you would have become aware in primary school, dicks are funny. Like, really funny.
Yet despite a collective fascination with all things phallic, there’s a distinct lack of penis-related gifts to send friends for LOLs.
Three entrepreneurially-minded legends from Fortitude Valley, Queensland, recognised said dick-shaped hole in the market and filled it with a brilliant venture called ‘Send Your Friend A Penis Drawing‘.
It’s exactly as it sounds: fork out cash in exchange for a limited-edition penis portrait, which you can either keep as a souvenir of your member, or give to a m8 as a gift.
There are a few differently-priced packages *cough* on offer, because these guys rightly believe that dicks should be for everyone, regardless of socioeconomic status.
Dick drawings range from $5 (cheapppp) to the much more expenno ‘Taj Mahal of Penis Drawings’ ($500), which is a full-colour artist’s impression of the Taj Mahal, with all its many columns reimagined as wangs.
Every hand-drawn penis cums “smartly presented on a small piece of real cardboard, numbered and signed by the artist.”
They really are done remarkably well:
Your purchase will also land you, or your m8, on ‘The Honor Board’, where you can post a message of your choice.
Celebrations, salutations, apologies, LOLs – there really is a dick drawing to suit every occasion.
The best part is that the bulk of money made by sendyourfriendsapenisdrawing.com is donated to the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia via this ‘Everday Hero’ fundraising page ($1,000+ has been raised so far – that’s a lotta dicks).
We reckon these guys are everyday heroes, which is why we sat down for a chat with the site’s copywriter Scott Peers, one-third of Team Penis Drawings (the other two VPs are Brendan Pearce, talented drawer of penises, and web developer Morgan McGuire, who we can thank for the stupidly well-designed website and company logo that spins 180 degrees to become a ‘dix&ballz’ 
) to learn about the nuts and balls bolts of the dickalicious venture:
) to learn about the nuts and How did the idea for a penis drawing service come about?
What’s the wackiest request a customer has made?
Why penises and not vaginas? Would you guys consider branching out to other genitalia in the name of a good cause?
It was a small team challenge in our innovation workplace to take blank white cards and add value to them somehow. Our team agreed that the best way to add value to the cards would be to draw a penis on them. We then used our combined skills to create a website and fill an obvious gap in the market for people to have good quality penis drawings mailed to loved ones.
Drawing penises is a passion and being able to use the website to raise money for prostate cancer research is a great bonus.
How many penises have you drawn to date?
There have been 100+ penises drawn and posted (UK, Ireland, Germany, USA, Australia) so far with approximately 150 more orders in the queue ready to go.
How does the process work, do you draw off a likeness sent in by customers?
Each penis is drawn after the order is received. Occasionally there is something in the message for the recipient that inspires Brendan to customise the order a little more. The message for the recipient for one order inspired Brendan to add Shia LaBeouf in the background giving a motivational message.
Don’t let your dreams of mailing illustrated penises be dreams of mailing illustrated penises #justdoit #yesterdayyousaidtomorrow #dontletyourdreamsbedreams #shia #sendyourfriendapenisdrawing

What’s the wackiest request a customer has made?
A client requested a knitted Peruvian hat be drawn on the top of a penis.
“Can you put a peruvian hat on it?” Yeah sure #sendyourfriendapenisdrawing

Why penises and not vaginas? Would you guys consider branching out to other genitalia in the name of a good cause?
There is a certain humour associated with penis drawings that seems to have universal appeal. Penis drawings are one of those things that are funny when you are young, then you grow out of it, then as you get more mature it becomes funny again. That is why penises were chosen and now the business name is somewhat restrictive with the product range.
The Taj Mahal is still for sale. How long do you predict it will be until someone makes a purchase?
The Taj Mahal is priced to reflect its prestige as a treasured gift for a sophisticated appreciator of penis art. The actual building the Taj Mahal was built because of one man’s dedication to his wife. It is a magnificent symbol of love and affection and the penis drawing Taj Mahal is meant to be similar. It is the perfect gift for an extra special occasion and with only one available the recipient can feel extremely honoured to receive it.
This is a gift that really will keep giving. Go forth.
