MIKA es el mejor, Te Quiero!!

[QueenElisaII]

I think that Mika's music is pure art... But I also think that all the other elements of his albums (pictures, decorations, clothing and stuff) are art as well. And this video is a show of the amazing work that there is hidden behind Mika's CDs.

[ashle120]

Mika, you're a genius.

I expected to see an artist with great imagination and it looks like you've accomplished my dream.Thanks!

PS:Your accent is adorable!<3

[KMSsisters]

Mika is a very very talented man. No wonder he has done so well. And no wonder he is pretty :) haha. But he really is amazing. I hope to be like him one day.

It is amazing the way the creative process works isn't it. Having the opportunity to express it is wonderful,even if people cannot feel what you feel when you create it. From one musician dreamer to the other, Thankyou for your passion. It IS inspirational.

Hope to see you in concert again sometime too! ^-^

[KTHXBAIOMGWTFZOMG]

I kept stopping the video to read the break-up letter, and it's really sad! Like at the beginning, it said: "Dearest Mica (ica then crossed out) MONSTER.

It's real isn't it? Poor Mika... : (

[kira902k]

Wow! That is so amazing. I'm really starting to regret that I bought your album on iTunes, so I don't have the booklet.

I love how with you, it's not just about the music. You really go into it, and create characters and meaning and art work and stories. I admire that so much. Continue making videos like this, to help explain you're true awesome!

I'm so excited to see you when you come to Montreal. :)

Still, you are genius, and I LOVE you. LOL GO MIKA!

YAY an art blog!!! Love hearing about your art stuff. Loved every second. Thanks for sharing Mika!

The Meyer Twins

[blueskymika]

You need to be copyrighting and merchandising these little characters, writing whole story books and branching out!!! Fantastic!

[go1711]

now that is cool. tres tres belle

[saragiro]

Random fact of the day: your doors are exactly like mine :-D

[FmBm2]

So interesting! I love the story behind the mubbins. Genius! And it's very cool to see how everything is put together and thought out. Thanks so much for sharing this gem!

[melgo09]

the artwork is AMAZING!

[thatstonekid]

amazing :)

[123MangoTango123]

!!!

I love him for that Charlie and the Chocolate Factory reference. :D :D

I mean, I love him for being him too.. but that just added to it.

[ConceitedWombat]

This is great!

There's so much going on behind the artwork, both in terms of the technical process in creating it, and the stories that inspire it. Such a treat to get a behind-the-scenes peek and walk away with a better understanding of it all.

PS: Mika, publish a proper sized book of this stuff. The little illustrations in the CD booklet don't come close to doing it justice.

[laurentjamesofficial]

Just when I tought I couldn't fall more in love with him, I did. He is one of the most creative people I have ever seen.

[Zebradoodle]

OMG I'm going to that museum in Oxford with the shrunken heads with my art college next week! Love the art! x

[CazGirl]

Oh I love it!! Thanks for sharing!
