Some think the work does not remind of Mustajärvi at all.

– Who is in that picture? Doesn’t look like Pate.

– Surely you could have done something like that?

– I’ve seen wonderful works, but really, this picture doesn’t remind me of Pate. The picture itself is great, but where is Pate?

– I first saw that someone Steven Seagal -graffiti.

– It’s more like showing this day by Freddie Mercury.

Mustajärvi died at the age of 69 on December 26. The cause of death has not been announced, but the musician said in October that a tumor was found in him.
