An artist dubbed 'Wanksy' after creating the world's biggest manhood on a map by jogging 120 kilometres in the shape of a penis is launching his own memecoin.
The Norwegian creator has notched up a massive Instagram following after the image of his handiwork clocked up more than 11 million views.
On a Daily Goat Tonight Spaces episode recently, he told listeners: "I think when people see these flashes of immaturity and childishness, that people connect to that."
He then added jokingly: "I think we're just going after all the sickos. Those are my target audience." And he then said: "With memecoins, we're on brand, so we're good."

His nickname is a play on the British street graffiti artist Banksy, one of his heroes.
If confirmed, the new 120.29-kilometre (74.7-mile) run behind the launch will be nearly four kilometres more than the previous record set by a Welshman in 2024.
Brit Terry Rosoman had run a 116.53-kilometre (72.4-mile) penis map route and Wanksy could have teased his Brit rival by adding: "Mine is bigger than yours."
But he admitted that actually he lamented breaking the other record "because Terry's record was for such a good cause".
The earlier record across Wales was completed in less than 24 hours by Rosoman, 38, a marketing director from south Wales, to raise money and awareness about men’s mental health issues for Movember.
Wansky, who used his GPS and the running app Strava to create the massive manhood image as he ran through Norwegian cities, said: "I was always very respectful to Terry. I had no intention or knowledge of his record until a few weeks before I ran. It was just a happy accident that I managed to beat him. The only thing I said in the interview was 'at least my one has two testicles!'"
The final version shows the image's tip in Stavanger with one of the testicles down in Bryne, in Rogaland County.
He then shared his work on Instagram along with the caption: "The GOAT" ('The Greatest of All Time'). He added: "I don't know if any artist has ever suffered so much physically for their art."

He began running at 4:30 am but the run was nearly a flop from the start because his water container burst. He said: "Between the cities of Orre and Bryne, I wanted to throw up."
After finishing his epic run, 'Wanksy' celebrated his role as a snarky slacker saying: "It was pointless. But I did it. That was the most important thing."
Now offers to cash in on his notoriety have come gushing in.

Norwegian brewery No Worries want him to promote his range of sports beers, including a zero alcohol ale called No Worries Sport.
The brew is said to contain protein, vitamins and minerals that runners lose in their sweat.
The artist said: "I put their black star logo on my final picture, and I like that it's called No Worries.

"It's how I run these things - just for fun. Nothing serious, nothing to cry about, just fun!"
The Art by Wanksy memecoin created in cooperation with the independent journalism project newsX's Daily Goat website will be launched later this week on the Solana launchpad Pump.Fun.
