Takashi Murakami

I saw Google today, and I was thrilled! Takashi Murakami is one of my favorite Japanese artists, of course he is also one of the most famous. His work is very inspiring with his cast of characters, bright colors, and his somewhat inappropriate subject based around anime culture, particularly otaku. He us well known for his "super flat" style and his work in varying media.
Here is some of his work, and this is just a small portion of his work. He has worked with major companies such as Louis Vuitton.
