It's like what John Lennon once said to a fan "You gotta stop seeing me as a Beatle"
It's weird, cause by putting his artwork on your wall, you are a fan of his work, you are fan of Mika, the amazing singer.
And if you are a close friend, you are a friend, yet a fan of his work. But you know him as a person, not as the guy who you know all about, yet doesn't have a clue of who he really is. It's Mika, my beloved friend, who likes orange juice so much, and has that crazy laugh. He's no longer unreachable and distant.
Anyway, I don't really know how to express myself in english, and I don't know if these makes sense at all..
