Tom of Finland
Added 2025-03-21 00:05:09 +0000 UTCAccording to the official website, Tom of Finland is the artist name of Finnish Touko Laaksonen (1920, Kaarina – 1991, Helsinki). He signed his erotic work “Tom”, and when his drawings were first published in 1957, the now world-famous “Tom of Finland” was born. “Touko Laaksonen” was kept for family and colleagues; both friends and fans have always simply called him “Tom”. Tom of Finland’s given name was Touko – because he was born on 8th May 1920, on the southwest coast of Finland, and May in Finnish is “Toukokuu”.
Recently Jonathan commissioned me to do a body painting inspired by the notable artist!
What do you think of your first look at the painting? I'll have more soon!
