Brilliant
gay illustrator and
cartoonist, best known for
Kake, the prototypical
leather boy/
hustler/
stud, a fellow with a face (somewhat loosely) based on
Clark Gable and
Burt Reynolds, with a much more muscular body and enormous
penis. Usually clad all in
black leather, the plot of every Kake story usually ends up with him being stroked, sucked, or in the rear end of an appreciative male...
policemen are his specialty. Other non-Kake works have been favorably compared to that of
Thomas Hart Benton, and show gays as being sailors, truckers, bikers, and other "manly" types.
Once thought of as simply a cheap hack, Tom's work has been shown at the Guggenheim. Check it out if you're gay, straight, female, or just like to laugh!
