This shit totally does it for me.

 

[Etoile]

Yes, Tom of Finland is quite popular, particularly in the leather community.

 

[Raimondin]

He's The Master. Male body artist, that is...

Yes. There's a really good DVD on Tom Of Finland, "Daddy And The Muscle Academy: The Art, Life..." Excellent.

Tom of Finland influenced a whole generation of leathermen. His icons still fuel many of my fantasies.

What are some of your favorite images?

 

[blklthrjkt]

Just about any of his pictures with guys in tall black riding boots, motorcycle cops and hard corps leathermen. Get a pattern here?

 

[Missouribiguy]

that's very good artwork.

Here's a link to the Tom of Finland Foundation that owns all his atwork.

Wow, thank you for that link! I never knew what he looked like before.

 

[Missouribiguy]

Damn, those guys are hot looking.

Another artist in the same vein as Tom was Etienne. His work is now all property of the Leather Archives and Museum in Chicago. Great stuff, and also very homoerotic.

 

[Etoile]

Hah, LA&M. Could there be a more controversial museum?

 

[blklthrjkt]

Well its got a very good group of people keeping it afloat. It represents a place where future generations can research our community and is a repository of our history. I even have a few papers and artifacts there.

Worth a visit if you ever get to Chicago as well.

 

[Etoile]

Oh, it's definitely a valuable resource for the Leather community. It's just also caused controversy...which is unfortunate, because the community is small and we should be uniting around a museum rather than debating it. But I would absolutely love to go there...I've never been to Chicago at all.
