Filmens regiss\u00f6r \u00e4r Dome Karukosi.<\/p>\n Tom of Finland f\u00f6ddes som Touko Laaksonen \u00e5r 1920 i byn Kaarina i Finland. N\u00e4r han var nitton flyttade han till Helsingfors f\u00f6r att g\u00e5 p\u00e5 Konsth\u00f6gskolan och det var d\u00e5 som han f\u00f6r sin egen n\u00f6je b\u00f6rjade skapa sina f\u00f6rsta homoerotiska teckningar. Efter sin tj\u00e4nstg\u00f6ring i det milit\u00e4ra under andra v\u00e4rldskriget b\u00f6rjade Touko arbeta som marknadsf\u00f6rare. Han fortsatte rita sina fantasier och, uppmanad av sina n\u00e4ra v\u00e4nner, skickade in teckningarna till det amerikanska magasinet Physique Pictorial, som var riktat till homosexuella m\u00e4n. P\u00e5 grund av det konservativa samh\u00e4llsklimatet p\u00e5 1950-talet valde Touko att publicera under pseudonymen “Tom of Finland”. Hans bilder var en omedelbar framg\u00e5ng och det f\u00f6ljde flera broschyrer och antologier. Sedan 1973 har hans bilder blivit utst\u00e4llt i museer och gallerier \u00f6ver hela v\u00e4rlden. Tillsammans med sin v\u00e4n Durk Dehner grundade Touko \u00e5r 1979 Tom of Finland Company. Tom of Finland Foundation bildades fem \u00e5r senare som ett ideellt utbildningsarkiv f\u00f6r att bevara, \u00e5terst\u00e4lla och utst\u00e4lla erotisk konst.<\/p>\n You can purchase the Laaksonen drawings during an exhibition.

But I knew – right from the start – that my men were going to be proud and happy men!
