How do I have to be watching this before I go tosleep

Becoming a caricature of yourself it's what happened to Tim Burton and Ned Flander, Sponge Bob, etc... now I can add him to my list

Being a sellout to simply survive is one thing, being a sellout for the money is another. We all need to survive.

We are not worth preserving lmao

hopefully we aren't preserved full system reset

Shipping soon!

Damn, I kind of don't care

Too bad he's a p3dophile when it comes to making "kids entertainment" Like 6HP Six Hearts. 🥱

System my ass, he just makes cool stuff

H does not have a dark side You have a dark side He has a light side

LOL one of his art pieces is in a game called "Just Dance 2014" 😂

He is nowhere near a sellout

When Murakami was 8 he saw Saturn devouring his sons. When I was 8 I saw a big titty anime lady jumping rope with the milk she was spraying. Thanks Murakami!

The only thing I'm focusing on is his sofubi Kaiju toy

He met Kanye West, hes never going to fail.

Interesting topic for a vid, however.... is that a red edition flip titanium pen you have your mic clipped to?

Simple, both.

Real talk, this guy is a joke

This is so cheesy and dorky lmfao, what a poor spoiled art baby

In 8 years when I graduate I’m gonna listen to this song.

It seems like his young self saw a prophetic vision of what he would become through the painting of Goya. Like gazing into a crystal ball.

I need to know why spikes are on the AF1 mid

Too bad he's a shameless lolicon. Ironic.

The octopus looks like the ghost from the cover of kids see ghost

Takashi murakami does not have a dark side You have a dark side Takashi murakami has a light side

He’s neither of the 2 in the traumatizing painting for him he saw in muesem. Takashi is Takashi …. Don’t limit him to olden days and ways. ❤❤❤

IS THAT DANDICUS DANUCIFER

Oh yo, that's the guy who made the art for Yameii and Deko's Nu Radio!

He's also a confirmed lolicon, so his shit is null and void.

Im spanish. When i was a child, i was carrying a bunch of books my father had, some were artbooks of my country. I dropped one and it opened on a page that featured Saturno devorando a sus hijos. I didn't sleep that night and it's been in my mind ever since. That was the first time i ever saw it 😅 I cannot imagine what that house he spent those depressing years looked like with all those disturbing paintings, some even painted right on the walls. He really expressed trauma and despair perfectly. Murakami.......... not so much.

Dude, 1:25 just by that single character, that drawing of his i was able to recognize who made the "KIDS SEE GHOSTS" cover art. For me thats the very example of what style should be, recognizable from just how uniquely and extravagant it is to the eye, still representing who you are and the fragments of your story, takashi is a genius for being able to make his style an eye captivating recognizable lense of his life, his inner struggles, and his cynical views on modernist bastardization of art, how it's sold and used for consumism rather than portraying an idea, or showcasing culture, it's just made for mere money and to keep selling.. wild.

Expectation: a juxtaposition of bright colors and nightmarish visuals, centering on the cosmic horror and despair of imperialism and commodification. Reality: Harajuku Britto

I dig his art. I like the layers of meaning and condtradiction. It's both happy and despairing, both genuine and ironic.

They are both Takashi, he consumed his moral code to survive in our consumerist state

Is that the final boss of Yo Kai Watch 1? 💀

God I remember learning about this guy in year 1😢

the legend takashi murakami from japan

Both

There are many things in japan that seem super-superficial atleast thats what i see from videos talking about how japanese store workers are like actors with their forced looking expressions and mannerisms

I've had my brand idea for 10 years and finally actualized it this year.. Thank you for the gems Virgil 🕊⭐

Who tf starved their children??????? Is this the damn Middle East???????????

When I saw a Goya mention in the comments and “a painting that disturbed him so much…” I went 🐟🚽 “oh, that’s Saturn Devouring His Son” and it was

Dob is cool. I like it

Holy s*# I just predicted the exact painting he got traumatized by

Different perspective: this was his life purpose he changed something that he hated into something he could profit from. He hated superficial art in Japan said fuck that and brought it to America. I think that’s badass LOWKEY. I’m proud of him even if he isn’t.

Mr. DOB very much resembles Charlotte from Madoka Magica. Wonder if PMMM took inspiration from his work?

In a sense, he’s the kind of entrepreneur who started out with big ideas like throwing everything he hated about America and it’s influence on Japan in their faces, realized people are either too stupid or don’t care enough to get the subtext, and then realized he could use that shallowness to get ahead. In other words, he realized if you can’t beat em, bleed em. In other other words, he’s Zeus, because in killing Saturn, he merely ends up becoming the new king of the gods and is destined to be overthrown just as he overthrew

Was worried this was gonna be about 6ix9ine by the thumbnail💀

Some might say he has a double life

Somehow Mr DOB remind of the monsters from Madoka magica Multiple eyes cute face and terrifying impression
