For the past eighteen years, Jeremy Novy has utilized stenciled street art to explore social and political issues. Novy has two intentions for his stencils: first, he creates public works that make his city a better place to live by bringing a bit of the arts to everyone, regardless of income or background.

Seeing problems such as abandoned telephone booths and boarded up buildings, he creates artful solutions by overlaying stenciled posters onto the disused objects giving them new life.

Remember the door to the third floor of TOM House? No? Well, the entrance to Foundation headquarters is now gloriously memorable.

Since 1984, Tom of Finland Foundation (ToFF) has been a driving force - some would say the driving force - in protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's erotic art. The impetus for this came from our founder, the artist Tom of Finland, who felt that, whatever one's gender or sexual orientation, erotic art was a source of beauty and pleasure.
