This sexy and exciting art festival is appropriately set in a basement beneath the sultry autumn skies of Los Angeles. The Tom of Finland Art Festival features a Dungeon Gallery of the Tom House.
The Tom of Finland Foundation is all about supporting erotic art that challenges and provokes the viewer, and one of their major events is this weekend, October 6th and October 7th. Artists featured at the festival include the titillating photographer Rick Castro, who shot the photos shown above and below, and expect to see work from John Blackburn, Sierra Domino, Paul Malher, and Joel-Peter Witkin as well.
