I discovered Tom’s art when I was a teen. It was the dawn of the Internet, and I was sitting in the dark in my childhood home in Jakarta, Indonesia, surfing the web for gay porn.

In this post: We’re kicking off Tom of Finland’s Death Anniversary Week celebration with “Gar in Pleasure Park.” This series

This photograph, inspired by Tom’s piece from 1987, showcases a fully-clothed Takeshi while Manuel, his boyfriend, is completely nude.

Also known as The Folsom David and The Castro David, this statue was the creation of Mike Caffee and became the icon of Fe-Be’s, the first leather bar on Folsom Street on San Francisco.

This is the perfect piece to showcase the sixth-scale (Barbie size or around 12 inches) figures I use for this project and the majority of my work on Instagram.

Tom drew a lot of bikers. In fact, he drew so many of them that there’s a Taschen book dedicated to Tom’s bikers.

Tom almost never drew was Asian men. I think I only know one drawing of Tom that shows an Asian.

It’s the finale of our Tom of Finland’s Death Anniversary Week celebration and we’re going out with a bang.

After much consideration, I got a Tom of Finland Rebel doll for the LA Leather Getaway 2023 silent auction.

Dollsexposed is proud to take part in the art exhibition at the 2023 LA Leather Getaway, brought by the fetish organization CLAW.

Poor (hairy) Rebel was left behind. His dome and accessories were all shipped to the LA Leather Getaway 2023 event for the silent auction.
