Touko Laaksonen, best known by his pseudonym Tom of Finland He been called the "most influential creator of gay pornographic images" and has burned images of masculinity into our minds.
From the film's manifesto, "In his childhood, he drew pictures of naked men. While drawing, he wore only leather boots. As a young man, he fought in the war and had sex with his fellow soldiers, both Finnish and German. During his adulthood, he lived a double life. By day, a talented advertising artist and a pianist, by night a genius creator of erotic drawings.We remember him through leather, huge muscles, even larger cocks and humour — empowering the masculine gay man."
