Tom of Finland

Designed by Derek Bishop in conjunction with the Tom of Finland Foundation and Tom of Finland Store, this poker-deck features artwork from the legendary artist Touko Valio Laaksonen. This deck is in such high demand that PrintNinja has printed the deck four times since the initial run in 2019! We can see why as the deck presents a wide variety of Touko’s hyper-real, hypermasculine style of queer erotic illustration. A favorite collaboration for the PrintNinja team!
