Takashi Murakami

The new Takashi Murakami exhibit is opening today at MOCA. It runs until February 11, so there's plenty of time to check out the kick-assedness. (not a word, i know)

That pic up there is from Kanye West's "Graduation" album. Kanye asked him to do all the artwork. This is not why Murakami is awesome. And not because he paired with Marc Jacobs to design some Louis Vuitton bags a few years ago. ( i am not into the Louis Vuitton print anyway. "Look at me! Look how much money I have!"(jealous much Nicole?) or worse "Look at how great this knock-off is! No one can tell it's a fake!" Guess what, we can.)

Anyhoo-Murakami. Pretty and colorful to the eyes! And there's a special preview of one of his new animated movies! 20,000 square feet of museum goodness!
