From a framed picture of a ‘jock’ (why not?) to a sofa cushion with a flaccid penis on (again, why not?) to two motorcycles having sex (in a Lady Gaga Born This Way cover sort of way), the winning entries to the 2020 Tom of Finland Emerging Artist Contest are among the sexiest and most outlandish ever.
