“In those days, a gay man was made to feel nothing but shame about his feelings and his sexuality. I wanted my drawings to counteract that, to show gay men being happy and positive about who they were. Oh, I didn't sit down to think this all out carefully. But I knew - right from the start - that my men were going to be proud and happy men!” ThinkingMenFeelsMadeShowsFeelingsWantedProudGayShameSexualityDrawingBe ProudGay MenHappy Man Author:Tom of Finland
“I almost never draw a completely naked man. He has to have at least a pair of boots or something on. To me, a fully dressed man is more erotic than a naked one. A naked man is, of course beautiful, but dress him in black leather or a uniform - ah, then he is more than beautiful, then he is sexy!” MenBeautifulCoursesBlackDrawsDressesSexyNakedPairsBootsUniformsEroticLeather Author:Tom of Finland
