I Stole Mark Billy's penis and now I stole his domain name. HA! LOST PENIS SCULPTURE FINDS FAME ON INTERNET In the end, having his penis stolen may be the best thing that happened to Mark Billy. The artist and former intern at the X-Initiative in Chelsea got a chance to display some of his own work at the scrappy nonprofit’s final show, the 24-hour art festival "Bring Your Own Art," and chose to offer Don’t Touch Mark Billy, four convincing, life-size casts of his own penis in different colored resins, displayed on a mirrored plinth, each delicately embellished with beard trimmings to enhance the realism. During the booze-fueled overnight revelry at X, one of the penises vanished, presumably spirited off by an admirer. That’s not the end of the story, however. Not taking the loss laying down, Billy went on to post a plaintive Craigslist ad, asking for information about a "Lost penis sculpture. Last seen on February 4th, 2010 around 1 a.m. on display during the art show BYOA at X Initiative located on 548 W 22nd St." The listing drew enough attention that it got a mention in Gothamist. The photo from Artnet Magazine’s Twitter coverage of "Bring Your Own Art" has received more than 35,000 views -- many times more than the number of people who saw it at "Bring Your Own Art" itself. If you have any updates on the whereabouts of the work, the artist can be contacted through his website http://www.markbilly.com Mark Billy stolen penis sculpture. Artnet Gothamist Eric Scott
