ABOUT THE ARTIST
I’m Tom — the artist behind Tom of Poland, creating hyper-detailed erotic portraits of men shaped by the bold visual language of the ’70s and ’80s: studio lighting, sculpted bodies, magazine gloss, quiet tension, loud desire.
My work lives between digital illustration, vintage erotica, and editorial photography — built stroke by stroke in a digital medium, but always with the patience and reverence of classic hand-crafted art.
Men as monuments. Desire as craft.
Whether in “Locker Room Legends” or the evolving world of “Hard SQUAD”, every piece is constructed slowly, meticulously, obsessively.
I’m not chasing “perfect men”; I’m chasing presence — the weight of a torso, the shift of a stare, the charged seconds before something happens.
My subjects are antiheroes: sexual, flawed, confident, full of character.
Men you don’t simply look at — you feel them.
Eroticism without apology.
I approach gay erotic art with the seriousness usually reserved for classical portraiture. Desire is not cheap or disposable — it’s a language.
These images speak it openly.
Some works are explicit; others restrained. All are rooted in queer visual history — the aesthetics that shaped generations of gay culture.
From digital art to collector’s editions.
Each artwork is transformed into a physical edition with the same care that goes into creating it:
premium papers, limited runs, embossed logos, hand-signed copies.
Collectibles made to last — and meant to be owned with pride.
“TOP STORIES” — EXPANDING THE UNIVERSE
“Hard SQUAD” marks a new direction:
a narrative world built around character, tension, and queer masculinity.
Looser lines. Sharper moods. Cinematic poses.
Not a comic — something between illustration, storytelling, and erotica.
Three men.
One unit.
Endless stories.
Why “Tom of Poland”?
Because it says exactly what it needs to say — and because it plays with a legacy that defined gay art.
The name is an intentional nod to Tom of Finland: an artist who dared to draw gay desire without shame — erections, fantasy, power, confidence — not as taboo, but as culture.
I’m Tom.
I’m from Poland.
And I’m continuing that tradition in my own way:
digital instead of pencil, 70s–80s aesthetics reimagined, bold masculinity delivered with a contemporary queer voice.
The abbreviation — TOP — became a natural extension:
simple, strong, iconic.
A word, a logo, a position, a brand.
This is not imitation.
It’s evolution.
A Polish chapter in a global queer visual lineage.
