Takashi Murakami

Murakami is sometimes called the Andy Warhol of Japan for his approach in trying to combine fine art and pop culture in Japan. Murakami is very hard to define he dabbles in sculpture, animation, fashion, print and merchandising.  He can probably even be considered a graphic designer but all of his work starts out as sketches that are scanned and colored in illustrator. This piece stood out to me because there is so much going on in one area and it caught my eye.
