Desk Sergeant 2. Under New Management 3. Lifeguard on Duty 4. California or Bust as drawn by Harry Bush
Harry Bush's drawings for magazines such as Physique Pictorial, Mr. Sun, Touch, Drummer, and Stroke combined masterful technique, exceptionally well-endowed subjects, and a wicked sense of humor that made his work extremely popular. Despite long periods of self-imposed retirement and a fear of being outed that led him to destroy much of his own work, the reclusive artist's drawings were as recognized and recognizable as those of Tom of Finland throughout the 1960s and 1970s.
Harry specialized in a certain type of pug-nosed young muscle boy. Bush's boys have a seeming lack of awareness of their own attractiveness -- or that their clothing is disintegrating off of their bodies. They stick out a thumb and cock a hip as they hitchhike up the Pacific Coast Highway with surfboards under their arms. Playful, flirty, and full of dry wit, these guys always have tan lines and outrageous proportions. Bush was influenced by J.C. Leyendecker and the straight pinup artist Alberto Vargas.
Life imitates art, and Harry's young men became physical role models for many. Harry told tales of porn stars in the '80s beseeching him with sexual favors for a portrait. He told us that he always refused. (Source: Advocate.com)

Hey Tumblr
I know you’re going through some things at the moment. Kinda on life support. Don’t have the time to quality control all your ads. I get it.
But what
The fuck
Is this?

This is not a real show. Nothing you can say to me can possibly convince me that this is a real show.
This is a rogue Cocomelon animator’s immature vent project AT BEST. No one would greenlight a show called Harry Bush. No one would WRITE a show called Harry Bush. No one would design a character called Harry Bush and inexplicably make him look like a four year old with a full beard and a farmer tan
Seriously, why does he have so few teeth? Why was this poster designed to look like a predatory kids YouTube channel, with the only major difference being a more aggressive shark? Why does he have a different number of fingers on each hand?
I don’t even think this is AI, I just think this is inexplicable. There is no world where this poster or title are attached to a real show, and if I’m wrong and Harry Bush is actually somehow beloved by the masses, then I’m jumping into the sea
