One of the horses on a ball is very recognizably a James Baxter[1]!

    > the obvious desire for transgressive expression by drawing dicks and slurs

this truly is fascinating, that the common denominator of any anonymous, open space for creative expression seems to always be large amounts of doodled dicks... Are there any studies on this?

Wall predates 1700 years unless built recently — Hadrian's Wall's from 122 AD, so more like 1900 years. Still, oldest known dick pic, hard to beat.

The oldest example I know of is Hadrian's Wall from ~1700 years ago engraved with a larger than life example.

Roman graffiti generally backs this up, Pompeii's walls are covered in phalli and insults. Some think they doubled as apotropaic symbols, warding off bad luck, not just juvenile humor.

Found the blurrred 67 so funny when I was expecting penises

Show us the penis collection, we know it exists! (also amazing already anyways :)

My Pegasus and my Space Invader weren't selected :(

Anyway, I remember a very good Godzilla and a moonwalking Michael Jackson. I think the post need an additional row for weird.

Oooh, there are just so many horses - more than 600 000 - that it's a tiny chance to actually see your drawings! And there are around 50 000 drawings marked as non-horses - all kind of weirdness - that could be an exhibition on its own..

Thank you for drawing, a typical drawing is seen more than a hundred times, so your pegasus and space invader were seen and appreciated : )

One of your snails is clearly a chambered nautilus instead. :)

What about pelicans?

This would fit right into any modern art gallery. Seems that these interactive generative art projects are in most museums nowadays.

No dicks?

So many dicks! Roughly 4 percent of all drawings are dicks. With over 600 000 drawings that means.. Twenty five thousand dicks. I thought about including them, but as with all the other transgressive drawings, the only person who enjoys looking at them is the one who drew them.

25k dicks and only one guy per drawing gets the payoff. Worst engagement ratio we ever shipped, and we've built rewards programs.

25,000 dicks and yours is the top comment. Priorities.

A pe** ... erm ... nevermind. I was just reminded of the fancy art I see when visiting university-campus toilets ...

No need to hide "penis" behind asterisks. It is proper -- even medical -- terminology, in contast to "c*ck", "d*ng" or "schl*ng".

... does one of the pictures jump occasionally?

Given that this is the internet, I highly suspect the author has left out a category.

Third sentence on the page:

> The image model I trained to filter out vandalism works very well, but it also hides a lot of ingenious drawings. You could see them if you’d activate the SHOW NON-HORSES setting, but most people do not.

Yep. There is a very distinct lack of horsegirls.

Anyone measure how long it stays legible before it turns into pure noise? A canvas that never resets probably converges to gray mush eventually.
