RE: Can You Separate the Art from the Artist?

Sometimes, it's like a fundamental human flaw to think that characters we watch are not also humans just like us figuring out life. It kind of bursts the bubble, so to speak, to realize that the artwork we've enjoyed and come to love is created by an artist we didn't consider to be more than just an artist.

I personally put the artwork first before the artist, in terms of level of importance but separating the two isn't always practical, as the artist creates the art, and aspects of the former are always in the latter.
