This vintage male nude erotic beefcake photograph by photographer WALTER KUNDZICZ of CHAMPION Studio features smooth, handsome, athletic model RICK DRAER posing sensually on the photographer's couch, in sports gear, tube socks worn with holes, high top sneakers, tennis racket, feathered haircut and sniffing his shoes wearing old school Bike jock strap. Shot in the 1970s, this print was produced by the studio in 1983, which is stamped on the reverse.

He retired from photography in 1973, but in 1980 began a new series, concentrating on the erotics of jock straps, socks, nylons, and jockey shorts. He retired in 1985 and turned the studio over to Man-Age.

Whether measured in terms of his prolific output, sales, his early and sophisticated use of customer mailing lists which he learned when mentored by Lon Hanagan of NY and Bob Mizer of AMG, or his impact upon the U.S. censorship laws of his time photographing handsome, athletic scantily clad athletes packed with vintage, period props, costumes, and bulging posing pouches, sheer see-thru and mesh jockstraps - are notable not only for the commercial success during the beefcake heyday, but also for their enduring creativity and imagination and his most popular models have their ardent fans and have become icons: Tore Lind, Helmut Reidmeier, Roye Could, Rod Bauer, Guy Harding Moore, Carmen Cacopardo, Monte Hanson, Dana Summers Somers, Jim Stryker, Darryl Powers, Scott Manley, Ray Kellogg, Mike Pohl, Rick Draper, Dick Orsini,  Lance York, Stanley Hilkert (Stan Hilkert), Bo Brandon (Bo Branden), Wayne Arlen (John Davidson), Rod Bauer, Scott Brewer, Glenn King, Joe Cali, Clif Dollard, Fred Frandac, Ken French, Boyd Goddard, Hayden West, Finn Kohlert, Roger Kent, Keri Long, Joe Canoli, Scott Manley, Chad Morgan, Warren Newman, Chris Niles, David Knight, Noel Peters, Ralph Pfundstein, Dean Roberts, Jack Reno (Doug), John Romero, Dan Shea, Dick Stark, Jock Stuart, Dick Trivan, Paolo Vita, Vince Vitale, Bill Wellet, Chip Wood, Ward Randall, Bob Anders, Luke Bodin, Rocco Capri, Cherokee, Jim Curtis, Zip Cragen, Jim Curtis, Bill Ferguson, Ken French, Chet Hilkert, Phil Welsh, Dwight Kessell, Glen Kincaid, Majestic, Lucky Moore, Darryl Powers, Ward Randall, Helmut Reidmeier, Ken Raye, Bud Savage, Garth Singer, Rod Thoder, Lance York, Phil Welsh, Randy. and many more

The seeds of the Leslie/Lohman Gay Art Foundation were planted in 1968 when Fritz Lohman and Charles Leslie held a gallery show of gay erotic art in their Soho loft. In 1990 they became a foundation dedicated to preserving art which many in the art world used to destroy. Ed Cervone "Three Sailor's". Or perhaps Patrick Angus' Hanky Panky - set in an adult peep show movie house. Darold Perkins has taken an Arrow Shirt ad and turned it into an ad instead. Next in the Drawings and Prints category we particularly love Paul Cadmus; the explicit Andy Warhol drawings -- he wasn't Tom of Finland.... but much more than Campbell's Tomato Soup
