Join us this Valentine’s Day for our Drawing Session. We will be drawing from live models in a variety of classical poses and graphic depictions of homoeroticism and nudity.

In this installment we peek behind the velvet curtain at the archives. Marc Ransdell-Bellenger guides us through the return of Tom of Finland works from Japan: the pieces that comprised the Reality & Fantasy show that was held in both Tokyo and Osaka in 2020. 

Herzog’s project of recovery, reinvention, and reinscription works toward creating historical evidence of our existence within records that hold and share the complexities of our collective memory, the totality of our trans bodies, experiences, cultures, histories, and lives.

In 2002, Tom of Finland Foundation gave Flynt our Lifetime Achievement Award for his longtime fight to protect First Amendment rights. Larry Flynt is seen here with Ron Athey and J. A. Rob Halford at the awards ceremony.

“If I don’t get a hard on while I’m working, then I know the drawing won’t be good.” – Tom of Finland

It is especially illuminating to see documentation of how he formed his beliefs about erotic art and shared them with the world.

Drawing on life experiences and inspired by Internet communities, Huxtable strives to create safe spaces, address anxieties, and cultivate a sense of inclusivity through her work. Huxtable constructs hybrid human-creature avatars as manifestations of her fluid gender and sexual identity.
