this dude has been ill ever since i seen Kanye's "Graduation" album cover, for those of you who didn't know who artist was or who don't read..
he's a dope ass Japanese comtemporary artist who does it all - fine arts media, painting, digital and commercial media. he got a degree at Tokyo National University of Fine Arts, which is a school that i wanted to go to in high school, but ehhhhh.. lmao. now he's credited for developing the new style, Superflat, which is just something he says is "a new culture & rejuvenation of the contemporary Japanese art scene".
dude is major & been major since 2001, which is why i don't understand why he wasn't brought to our attention until 6 years later. he had a production & design studio setup for a while & then said he was gonna approach the market with his work & registered his organization as Kaikai Kiki Co., Ltd. outta his pocket, hes got over 100 heads working for him, with work & studios in both Long Island City, New York and Japan.
power.. i love Japan.
