TAKASHI'S HISTORY AND CRAFT

TAKASHI MURAKAM'S ART HAS PHASED ME IN A POSITIVE WAY. I WAS ON THE COMPUTER CHECKING OUT SOME OF MY BEST ARTIST CRAFT AND AFTER I WAS SEARCHING RON ENLGISH'S WORK NEXT UP WAS TAKASHI. EVERYTHING TAKASHI MURKAMI HAS PRODUCED HAS BEEN GREAT. FROM THE LOUIS VUITTON COLLABORATION TO HIS  FLATOP VIDEOSVIDEOS, EVERY  ART PEICE AND CLOTHING IS DOPE TO ME. IT'S LIKE THE COLORS HE USE ARE NEVER TOO BOLD AND EVERYTHING IS CALM AND SO GRASPING TO MY MIND. THE CRAFT AND  ITEMS HE HAS CREATED ARE ADDICTIVE TO OUR PEOPLE FOR SURE. 

THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT TAKASHI MURAKAMI HE'S A JAPANESE ARTIST WHO HAS ACCOMPLISHED SO MUCH IN THE ART WORLD. TAKASHI WAS BIRTHED ON FEBUARY 1, 1962 , BORN AND RAISED IN TOKYO, JAPAN. THE JAPANSES ARTIST WITHIN HIS COLLEGE  YEARS ATTENDED "THE TOKYO UNIVERSITY OF FINE ARTS AND MUSIC" WHERE HE ACCOMPLISHED HIS DOCTORATE DEGREE IN "NIHONGA" . NIHONGA IS AN ART FORM WITH A MIXTURE OF WESTERN AND EASTERN STYLES  BACK IN THE 19TH CENTURY.

 "ANIME" AND "MANGA" ARE TWO STRONG COMPONETS OF  JAPANSES ANIMATION AND COMICS.  ANIME AND MANGA DRIVED TAKASHI TO THE RESULT TO WHERE HE SOON WOULD  BECOME PASSIONATE ABOUT "OCATKU". OCATKU IS PLAIN AND SIMPLE HIS LIFE, COMMUNITY , OUR MOTHER NATURE,VIDEO GAMES, AND PEOPLE.

 TAKASHI HAS USED EVERYTHING SURROUNDING HIM AS INSPIRATION.WITH THE CREATIVITY FLOATING AROUND HIS BRAIN HE HAS PRODUCED GREAT WORK WORTH MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. ALSO THE SUPERFLAT ART FORM TAKASHI HAS DISCOVERD  HAS INSPIRED SO MANY ARTIST IN OUR WORLD THESE DAYS.ALSO TAKASHI HAS DONE COLLABORATIONS WITH SOME OF THE DOPEST INDIVISUALS AND COMAPNYS. TAKE A LOOK!

TAKASHI AND PHARRELL 'S SCULPTURE :THE SIMPLE THINGS

KANYE WEST "GOODMORNING" VIDEO HAD ME TRIPPING. THIS MIGHT BE MY FAVORITE VIDEO WISE . TOWARDS THE END HE HITS EVERY FORM OF BAPE PATTERN THERE IS, THE 1981 "BACK TO THE FUTURE 2" DELOREAN AUTOMOBILE, THE WAY HE PULLS THE SHADES OUT, THE FAMOUS MUSHROOMS,THE FORMAT, AGAIN THE WHOLE CITY WAS BAPE. I THOUGHT THIS WAS NICE.

THE PRINT WHICH WHAS DONE BY JAPANESE ARTIST "KEITA SUGIURA" FALLS DEEPLY IN PLACE WITHIN EVERY JACKET AND VEST. I CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS COLLECTION TO DROP. I WILL BE ATLEAST THE TOP 5 TO PURCHASE EVEN THOUGH A PRICE HAS YET TO DROP.
