All of these draw<strong>in</strong>gs show the orig<strong>in</strong>al<br />
unique ability of Touko Laaksomen or Tom<br />
of F<strong>in</strong>land who has become an icon of <strong>gay</strong><br />
erotic art posthumously. An article on<br />
Tom’s biography was featured <strong>in</strong> the Daily<br />
Guide last August. His draw<strong>in</strong>gs have<br />
been shown <strong>in</strong> famous galleries world wide<br />
<strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g the MoMa, The Art Institute of<br />
Chicago, LACMA, as well as other smaller<br />
galleries and museums. A quote from Tom<br />
of F<strong>in</strong>land regard<strong>in</strong>g his own legacy, he<br />
said, “I know my dirty<br />
little draw<strong>in</strong>gs are never go<strong>in</strong>g to hang <strong>in</strong><br />
the ma<strong>in</strong> salons of the Louvre. but it would<br />
be nice if ..... our world learns to accept all<br />
the different ways of lov<strong>in</strong>g, Then maybe<br />
I could have a place <strong>in</strong> one of the smaller<br />
side rooms.<br />
Tom of F<strong>in</strong>land has not made it to the<br />
Louvre yet, however his work is known<br />
throughout the world and his message of<br />
acceptance of difference has never been<br />
needed to be acknowledged more than now.<br />
