Tom of Finland 101: Final Chapter

Once he accepted, however reluctantly, the approach of his own death, Tom became even more attuned to the world of the spirit, an element he had always sensed to be an important part of his life.

“Whenever I was depressed or disgusted, I would feel him, this spirit inside, urging me back to living, back to drawing. I believe there is a lot to the world that can’t be seen or touched, and if you turn away from all that—especially if you are an artist—you are avoiding an important part of life, maybe the very heart of it.”
