I Love Moomins

We collaged on Friday night with 'movement' the focus. I pasted in a postcard of love-struck Moomins on swings that I got in Japan a few years back. Tove Jansson, an amazing graphic artist from Finland, created the world of Moomins.

Today, I was reading about Acid Mothers Temple, a texturally experimental Japanese band who have a song about the 'Hattifatteners' - characters in the Moomin series that look like ragamuffin socks.
The
Hattifatteners are always on the move, with the singular goal of reaching the horizon, communicating telepathically, and assembling once a year when they 'recharge' in lightning storms.
I love it when things come together.
