That's great, Mike. I hope we see David's interview footage someday.

I recently published an essay on David and Old Reliable, if you're interested.

He made rough-trade an art form, an archive, a world. The men wrecked him. The work saved him. David Hurles: the outlaw who invented rough-trade porn. Images courtesy of the Bob Mizer Foundation.

Such a great piece—Fritscher understood Hurles better than almost anyone.

I wrote an essay on Hurles and Old Reliable that leans heavily on that lineage, if of interest.

Hi Bob, I love your site. I recently published a deep-dive into David’s life, work, and impact, titled "David Hurles: The Outlaw Who Invented Rough-Trade Porn." I wanted to pass it along to someone who has helped keep Old Reliable's work alive.
