Peeping Tom of Finland
From Tom of Finland to Boys in Body Paint
“I also like to play with
stereotypes that I grew up with. When I first got to New York the look
of Tom of Finland was what defined gay life. I love to re-visit those
images and they have influenced my recent work. I am currently putting
together two books of male photos, one of them looking at the darker
side of life and one of painted bodies.”
— Geoffrey
Doig-Marx

Camille Paglia,
“Even Tom found the penis funny!”
Camille Paglia.
Recipient of ToFF’s 2004 Cultural Icon award.
Camille Paglia, the indispensable
art critic and long-serving Professor of Humanities at the University
of the Arts, has for over two decades lived in the shadow of Camille
Paglia, the polemicist, enfant terrible, expert provocateur
and, according the British writer Julie Burchill, “crazy old dyke.”
Paglia is the lesbian who
doesn’t like lesbians, the pro-drug libertarian who wouldn’t touch the
stuff herself. And, through no fault of her own, the extravagances of
Paglia’s proclamations have too often lead spectators to overlook the
marrow of her ideas.

Tom of Finland — Life and Work of a Gay Hero
"Tom of Finland (1920-1991)
continues to amaze with his classic work. Now, there’s a new book that
traces Tom’s early life in Finland through his career in advertising
to when he started producing the epic work that still influences the
Gay world."
— Vincent
Lambert, GayDemon
