"Formed from found imagery and his own photos, Tom used these as studies from which to sculpt his now iconic visuals. Cutting out images from both mainstream and early gay magazines, then assembling the results on paper, he called these experiments and sketches reference pages, sometimes scribbling and drawing onto these new designs to change or accentuate them"
