Shrigley Schlong

Welcome Nobwatchers to the Final Day of NobVember!

As a finale treat here is a nob drawn by the Nobservatory's favourite contemporary artist, David Shrigley, who sportingly conceded to draw a dong in a Nobservatory representative's volume at a book signing. What a dude.

Optinob


At the nobservatory, we've been keeping one eye open for so long - everything is starting to look a bit erect. This parapraxis phenomenon we call an Optinob.


To see if you've been effected - check the visual test below 


Don't see a nob, then you're doing ok.

Nouveau Nob


A modern take on a classic design - a prototypical boner framework etched unusually in a livid tangerine shade. Nobservatory staff have expressed concerns over the nobartist's wellbeing - from whence has s/he gleaned inspiration? Such dramatic colouring and the ominous addition of red blemishes along the shaft has led experts to believe that this mysterious scribbler could be suffering for their art more than one would care to imagine.

Where's Willy?

Can you spot the sly addition of a dong in this picture? The Nobartists once more prove themselves the unchallengeable masters of subtlety.

Pierrot Prong


Here the Nobartist use to great effect, the lamp post - as the sad little Pierrot Prong ascends the pole, a visual statement of  Working class people, struggling, sometimes tragically, to secure a place up high in the bourgeois world.

Chandelier Nob

A lovely way to brighten your hallway...
this custom design Hans Van Bentem did the rounds on craiglist a while ago,
as cultured as we are at the Nobservatory - this is one is definitely on our Christmas List.

Coffee Cock


Stolen from Facebook, this wonderful image illustrates a rare occasion when a Nobartist has put his name to his work. Here James is clearly marking out his hot beverage-territory using his signature doodle dong. The Nobservatory likes the reaffirmation of the informative "Penis" sign. Good work James - the Nobservatory salutes you!

Tesla's Testicles


It's been a while since a Big Green Wanger from Outer Space has been nobserved on the streets. This diagrammatical chappy, with its veiny Lightning bolts allude to a RayGun Cock of devastating power in a potential upcoming invasion. We speculate they are being built under our feet right now, fully utilising Tesla's Teleforce particle beam ejeculator.

Dong Energy

As part of NobVember's national recycling week special feature, here's just the thing to perk up that mid week malaise! This image was captured on the Nobservatory's all-expenses-paid-academic-research jolly in Copenhagen. The Danes - they have Dong Energy.

Indiginob



NOBART: ORIGINS 3,

Indiginob
Prof. Belle Ennde


For decades prudish anthropologists have speculated coyly about the purpose and origin of Aboriginal nobart. 

Mountford (1960, p. 81) recalls soberly how “a number of representations of human penes have found their way into various museum collections” while shy Campbell (1921, p. 145) refers to them as “secret articles.. or representations of the male organs of generation”.

 
The skilful indigenes of Australia Have long been producing wonderful dongs from stone, wood, clay and wax, but not telling anyone why. This has naturally unnerved the poor anthropologists who have been digging them up left, right and centre. The sharp eyed Balfour, records Mountford (1960, p. 81) uncovered what he believed to be a natural stone in the shape of a cock, but which the Nobservatory now suspects was an example of nobart left in wait for him by a sniggering artist. 
  
Various lines of speculation have been put forward by the learned Nobservers. Mountford (1960, p. 81) asserts “existing evidence suggests that these phallic objects are probably linked with some mythical beings” having been assured by various antipodean dwellers that a ritual involving gently striking the legendary cock of Borolo-Borolo actually improves ones eyesight, as opposed to the accepted European standard of “if you play with it, you’ll go blind”.

Recycled Nob


To herald the start of National Recycle Week - here's a wonderful flaccid wanger on the side of a recycle bin. The Nobartist's scathing social commentary is evident in the angle of the droop, drawing the viewer's eye to the pile of discarded litter it is impotent to prevent.
Remember, dear NobWatchers! Don't be trashy - Recycle!

Bone

Behold the mighty Bone!

Bone's diabolically fretted shaft protrudes darkly from the tri-tonal composition, a drone of dissonance from its burnt sienna background.

One Eye on the Ball


A new take on Heading the Ball. This risky manoeuvre out on the field could earn a referee booking for a Maradona - esque Wang of god.

Tesselated Todgers

Exquisite enough for the Palace at Alhambra! One eye travels up the screen drawn by the thousands of tiny erect tinkles, painstakingly crafted to perfection. The sweeping curves of the bollocks provide balance and harmony to the facade.

All Seeing Eye

This geometric chubster was nobserved recently on our streets,
then several days later witnessed again...

our furtive imagination believes it is a new cultish icon arising, a new All Seeing One Eye... is it a New World Order - 'Nobus ordo Scrotum'?

here's our wild Speculation of what the Illuminob could look like on a One Dollar Bill

Just watch out for the mysterious "Handshake" between secret members...
