A pair of Oakland-based artists/humorists have been setting up vagina-drawing booths over the past two years, sometimes making appearances at Gay Beach in Dolores Park and in the Castro, asking gay men to draw vaginas, or whatever a vagina calls to mind, or what they believe a vagina to look like. Now they're looking to put out a coffee-table book of the hundreds of drawings they've collected called Gay Men Draw Vaginas, and some of the images are, in fact, quite hilarious.
Before you get all PC-sensitive about this (like some did with this video) and start throwing around the M-word (misogyny), please watch the video featuring creators Shannon O'Malley and Keith Wilson poking their heads through Annie Sprinkle's vulva [link NSFW], and realize that this is all in good fun. The project came about around a dinner table one night when Shannon asked Keith to draw a vagina for her. Then Keith's boyfriend drew one. Ultimately, a contributor summed up the dilemma for gay men this way.

And, of course, someone's always going to give it teeth.

Via Kickstarter they're looking to raise $37K for printing the book, which will be 220 pages long and off-set printed. A pledge of $37 will get you a copy of the eventual book.
Follow them on Instagram and Facebook for more vagina hilarity.
