"This painting ran with a list of fantastic facts about your penis. Of course, the editors didn't want to see any actual dicks, which worked out for me because I was deep into a flower-painting obsession anyway. I always thought it was kind of funny that a writer could write an extremely explicit article, but the art always had to have a prudish restraint. On one hand, it's a drag to think that readers (well, advertisers really) would be so uptight, but on the other hand, it speaks to the power of imagery to move people in ways that even the most graphic text can't."
