This looks like Harry Bush to me. Love Harry Bush drawings.
The original drawing was by Harry Bush, it was called Santa’s Present but has a different guy on Santa’s lap. The original is on the cover of the Stroke BJ linked to, and also here:
I’m not sure who did the altered version, if it was done by an artist pre-photoshop or more recently. How long have you had the image BJ?
very interesting, fellas – I admit to being bad sometimes at erotic art – identifying it, at least.
could someone have taken a Bill Ward and added a Harry Bush? or visa versa?
i do NOT remember where I nabbed the “original” pic I posted from….
but looking closely, the original is definitely Harry Bush, as Santa has the “HB” initials next to one foot – below the candy cane…. maybe Harry did another version with this new guy?
Thank you Vint. What a nice Xmas surprise from you…
To Ian: I remember corresponding with someone who I think was using this name, and then another one, on my youtube channel which went away a few months ago. This yt account had commented on a lot of the videos I posted featuring music from some vintage films, like Brother Load and Intruders. I thought I found you on reddit as well, I sent a private message there so if this is you and you can log into your reddit account we could talk there if you want, and not hijack BJ’s blog. In case you wondered what had happened and all. If you have no idea what I’m going on about then sorry and just disregard.
To BJ: maybe someone will recognize the artist of the naked guy since that seems like it was drawn by somebody else, and just superimposed over the original guy. Which makes it like a hybrid drawing I guess? I did a brief search and apparently Harry Bush and Bill Ward knew each other and corresponded when they were both alive, so maybe the naked guy was drawn by Bill and Harry knew about it too? Hmm, let me know if you ever figure this out (and I’ll do the same).
Harry Bush “Hard Boys” is a hardback book (189 pages) published by Green Candy Press in 2007. I got mine on ebay, not cheap but worth every penny!
I’ve got a paperback issue/copy of that book, but I don’t remember where I got it (possibly Amazon) or how long ago, but it has been a number of years, at least after 2014.

OH! OH MY!

a little more digging – the “original” if we’re sure its that – appears in the January 1966 Physique Pictorial Vol. 15 No. 2 issue – now on to who, or when, the image was altered…
