About the artist

ETIENNE

Etienne was the pen name of Dom Orejudos (1933–1991), the Chicago artist, dancer and choreographer whose muscular, playful drawings of leathermen became icons of postwar gay art. Alongside Tom of Finland, he defined the hypermasculine ideal of the era through work published in physique magazines and in Chicago's leather community.

Orejudos co-founded Chicago's Gold Coast leather bar, where his murals hung, and helped launch the International Mr. Leather contest in 1979, creating many of its early posters. He was also a principal dancer and choreographer with the Illinois Ballet. His work is held by the Leather Archives & Museum and the Tom of Finland Foundation.
