'Bootlicker.' Black and white photograph. 1979. Signed and dated bottom right. Numbered bottom left 7/30. 16 x 20".

Image reproduced in Drummer Magazine in 1978 and in conjunction with an interview with Louis (Lou) Weingarden of Stompers Gallery and Boot Shop, NYC.

Weingarden said of Beard in the interview: "Phillip Beard took a series of photographs as a fashion assignment for Stompers...Some of the gems of the shooting were out takes of the models who were lovers and who started playing at the end of the session. He took some beautiful pictures. Again - everyone was relaxed, he knew their timing."
