Featuring Tom of Finland, Nayland Blake, Isaac Julien

Tom of Finland is one of the major icons of the gay world. His provocative erotic drawings have had an enormous influence on gay identity, attitude, and self-understanding. “Daddy and the Muscle Academy” combines interviews with Tom before his death in 1992 and his leather men acolytes with hundreds of original drawings and steamy fantasy scenes inspired by his groundbreaking work.
