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.
