Piitles, 2021-05-21

I’ve arrived safely in Helsinki, and am now quarantining at home.

A cartoon version of the famous Abbey Road album cover with the Beatles. If you were to write down what “Beatles” sounds like to a Finn, you might end up with “Piitles” (especially if pronounced by a Finn). The background is completely different from the famous album cover.

Mauri Kunnas is most well known for his children’s books, but before those, he used to do cartoons for a youth music magazine called Suosikki (“Favourite”), and later he did an entire book about the Beatles.

Piitles by Mauri Kunnas, Peliko, 500 pieces. Completed on May 21, 2021.
