Tom of Finland Quotes

• 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!

• I know my little 'dirty drawings' are never going to hang in the main salons of the Louvre, but it would be nice if - I would like to say 'when,' but I better say 'if' - our world learns to accept all the different ways of loving. Then maybe I could have a place in one of the smaller side rooms.

• 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!

• Lo abstracto, sobre todo en esos bocetos, es muy importante para mí, quizá por mi formación publicitaria, en la que la maquetación es tan importante. A veces esas primeras líneas recortan el papel en formas tan satisfactorias que no quiero seguir, pero siempre lo hago, añadiendo orificios nasales y pezones y tirantes de botas hasta llenar el papel como siempre.
