This nifty little book has a real retro feel about it, perhaps that’s because they are all paintings (and they’re real paintings as the artist Beau, works in oil and on paper, not canvas), and they’re set in a time when fantasy could run unrestrained.
The paintings are explicit, artistic and sexual but also have a little more erotic force about them.
Yep all the men are handsome, yep all the scenarios are the stuff of one-handed reading but there’s more to these images.
Like his famous Daddy’O Tom of Finland, Beaus men are all engaged with each other in a blissful pursuit of pleasure in a guiltless happy way. He has a real skill in drawing out the story and an enviable casualness to his art, but throughout it, Beaus men know what they want: men.
It’s a small but smart 64-page full color paperback with a foreword by Clive Barker.
Fun, easy and sexy. If you like the best selling Beau’s work then this is a
‘shower and a grower’ in its genre.
