Tom of Finland Man And His Boot Skateboard by The Skateroom
Time-Limited Edition
Tom of Finland was exploring the use of prismacolor pencils when working on āMan and His Bootā. The artwork, originally released as a lithograph, was an experimental move away from his usual graphite and gouache. Very detailed in its technique, the piece took the artist about two weeks to complete.
Presented here as a solo skate art edition, we see a mysterious close up portrait of a man, leaning his face gently against a black cowboy boot of his companion. This contrast of nudity with heavy fabrics such as leather and metal is a common characteristic of Tom of Finlandās visual vocabulary, which conveys homosexuality through images of dominant masculinity.Ā
