Takashi Murakami

This man is probably my favorite artist. His designs are off the hook. Honestly, not going to lie Pharrell inspired me to check dude out. Here is a little background info...
"Takashi Murakami (村上 隆 Murakami Takashi^?, born in Tokyo), is a prolific contemporary Japanese artist who works in both fine arts media—such as painting—as well as digital and commercial media. He blurs the boundaries between high and low art. He appropriates popular themes from mass media and pop culture, then turns them into thirty-foot sculptures, "Superflat" paintings, or marketable commercial goods such as figurines or phone caddies."
