from http://www.slate.com/blogs/outward/2014/04/14/finland_s_graphic_gay_bondage_stamps_are_amazing.html

"His emphatically masculine homoerotic drawings have attained iconic status in their genre and had an influence on, for instance, pop culture and fashion. In his works, Tom of Finland utilized the self-irony and humor typical of subcultures. … The drawings on the stamp sheet represent strong and confident male figures typical of their designer."


I think this is interesting, mostly because I find the idea of a "tom of finland" kind of funny, as I picture him much like a jhonny apple seed going around spreading his boutiful fruits with all who choose to pick at his branches offerings.

Or maybe hes more like a paul bunion, instead of chopping down massive wooden poles, hes (insert obvious joke here)

but seriously...

the most suprising thing here to me, is that apparently, some people are still using stamps...

when I saw the article title I was like "what? gay people are openly branding (stamping) each other?"

seriosly though, clicky the link, some very funny pics there good for a chuckle regardless of if you think this is a good or bad move.
