Reference is a zine by Tom of Finland (published by Innen in Geneva, Switzerland). It features the drawings Tom of Finland is widely known for–highly masculinized, slightly cartoonish, homoerotic illustrations of men in positions of power (cops, army men, and individuals mimicking these roles)–alongside black and white photographs of men. They engage in a variety of acts, from posing naked for one another, to having sex, flexing, and dancing.
