About The Artwork
With few copyright protections, Tom of Finland’s images were frequently pirated. In response, the artist established the Tom of Finland Company with Durk Dehner in 1979 to protect his rights and publish his work, producing a wide range of associated merchandise, including t-shirts, rubber stamps and even sex toys. The bauble features a banner of drawings Tom produced as stamp designs that he sold mail order.
