    I used that picture some time ago -- not the same photograph, obviously, but the same wall painting -- as part of a banner design I did for a newsletter (I work in graphic design).

    I also created two completely different designs and the rest of the team created candidate designs as well. I don't know which one the client chose.

    It looks like he's circumcised. Note the line close to the end of the penis.
