Also, Tove Jansson was a genius, the more I learned about her while researching for this piece the more I loved her. And I already loved her. Her style in this period is so precise, but also breezy? It was so much fun to imitate it. So many rotating moomins on my sketch page to make it look right..

Also, her 1954 'Fantasia' mural might have inspired 'The Rebirth of Love,' had I seen it before last week... What an amazing piece, here is a little blurb about it on the 'Moomins' official site. www.moomin.com/en/blog/tove...
