Takashi Murakami!!!!!

Takashi Murakami is a famous Japanese artist and he born in 1st of February in 1963 in Tokyo. He studied Fine Arts and Music from Tokyo National University. At first he just studied some traditional Japanese arts such as Nihonga which is mixing Western and Eastern styles from late 19th century; but after he touched anime and manga, he found that the otaku culture was more representative of nowadays modern life in Japan. Finally, he get his own art style which is called Superflat. Actually, Superflat means using flat planes of colour and simple graphic images to create a character from anime or manga, and this style comes from otaku culture. Takashi use his own style buring the boundaries between high art and low art.
I quite like his works especiouly he did some design for LouisVuitton.
There are some of his works:
