Harry Bush was more than just a sun-kissed version of the more famous
Finnish fetish artist, though. According to the piece by Sean Carnage
in the May issue of Unzipped, he was also a grumpy old man who was more concerned
with the stock of paper that his masterpieces were printed on than
getting a piece of meat from 80s porn pup Lance. Rather than form a
foundation like the Tom of Finland company, that would preserve his
legacy, he was prone to foul moods in which he’d
throw out most his drawings in fits of disappointment.
Hard Boys, the new collection of Bush’s work (some
previously published in magazines like Stroke, Drummer and naturalist
magazines like Mr. Sun), may make Bush’s drawings come alive for a new
generation of porn lovers who may realize, like generations before
them, that fantasies are often better than reality.
