Mister Tom

This is a companion piece to Master Tom. An homage to Touko Laaksonen aka 'Tom of Finland'. Touko was known for his stylized highly masculinized homoerotic fetish art, and his influence on late twentieth century gay culture. He has been called the 'most influential creator of gay pornographic images' by cultural historian Joseph W. Slade. The artwork is based upon a selection of Tom of Finland's illustration measuring 72.5cm by 72.5cm and is finished with Swarovski Crystals that mark out the constellations as they would have appeared the night that Touko Laaksonen was born. Strictly Limited to 25 editions.
