Living the Tom of Finland Fantasy

A KALTBLUT exclusive. Photography and art direction by Aleksandar Antonijevic. The model is Evan Boutsev. “Touko Valio Laaksonen, known by the pseudonym Tom of Finland, was a Finnish artist who made stylized highly masculinized homoerotic art and influenced late 20th-century gay culture. He has been called the “most influential creator of gay pornographic images” by cultural historian Joseph W. Slade

Taking inspiration from his iconic work, Evan and I set out to recreate and at the same time celebrate this legendary artist, while incorporating Tom of Finland vodka as the product featured.”

Much like Evan: “Bold yet smooth, Tom of Finland Organic Vodka is full of character, where the spiciness of the rye is balanced by the softness of wheat and arctic water.”
