bathroom graffiti projectProving that man does his best thinking while on the pot, the Bathroom Graffiti Project is a user-generated collection of art, poetry, philosophy and hilarious dick drawings found scrawled in restrooms around the world.

Because it turns out, the bathroom stall is good for something other than just glory holes. Unity Stoakes, founder of the Bathroom Graffiti Project, says that potties provide a canvas for some of the "most culturally interesting forms of artistic expression."

"Bathroom graffiti is one of the few remaining outlets for free speech in today's sanitized and controlled media world," Stokes tells Asylum. "It's a medium not even China can censor. Those scrawls are important not only for what they say, but also for what they say about the people, the environment and the culture where the graffiti exists."

Stoakes, who lives in Brooklyn, claims that New York is one of the great bathroom-graffiti meccas, citing the Whitehorse Tavern, Living Room, Decibel and Max Fish as the bars with the best john art.

As for his favorite scribbles? "I love the back and forth conversations," he says. "My favorite is when someone writes something really ignorant or absurd and the next person completely schools them by turning the joke on them." (Exhibit A, left).
