Inside Takashi Murakami’s Massive Production Studio

[@tylero8595]

As an artist I am so happy I stumbled across this channel. I struggle sometimes with processes and systems. This one was great. I had no idea about Adobe illustrator. I always sketch out my ideas. But i lose them, they get ruined or I just lose interest in the idea because of how long I take to sketch. I think using a computer would help organize my ideas and amplify my techniques I use. This is great.

Glad it was helpful!

Initially I thought “ok so the staff are mass producing his work” but after your very in-depth and fascinating look at how this artist works…… well it’s truly incredible. It work for him and his staff all look happy in their work. This is truly inspiring to see the differences between the artists you have covered and just how they manage their production and production teams. Very insightful and extremely well presented. May I take this opportunity to wish you every success with your channel. Also, I can’t wait to see more artist studios. My studio is quite a mess compared to some I have seen but, it works for me.

It’s like a commercial art process applied to fine art. I think it’s more like a team working on a large advertising campaign, or a large team creating a feature film, or even a game studio producing work. i find his work and process is really inspiring. I first fell in love with Mr. Pointy it at the Art Institute of Chicago back in the early 2000s.

The Japanese are such an interesting culture. Life as an art, the "Way" is as important if not more important to the result. A practical philosophy in action every moment of every day. Seems he is the architect of the team and we all respect an architect as an artist. The responsibilities of employing so many is also just an incredibly difficult challenge alone. His leadership must also be of such a quality as to inspire and motivate. Less a machine and more an organism. Another great video. 👏🙏

Art has always been a studio-driven mass market GET DA MONEY IN BUNCHES exercise. Many would be surprised that half of Rembrandts are not Rembrandts, but the works of his students copying his style. In the Renaissance there was a great vogue for "ancient" art and famous sculptors and their crews would create a statue, distress it, and go bury it somewhere and say it was "ancient." Even the Impressionists (a complete failure in their day, voted out of salons and their only two shows were failures) were really mass market affairs; it takes a day to make one of those paintings versus months to do an academic one that was the style of the day. Murakami is just doing a digital version of Warhol's factory. It's Warhol done via Adobe Illustrator fed into Hi Def screen burning at 1200DPI. Why I love to hear about the late Francis Bacon walking into a gallery to buy one of his own paintings he doesn't like then having it burned.

Why are you spreading revisionistic fake news? You are not an artist, what’s even your motivation?

[@edwardrichardson8254]

@@ivanmatveyev13 But I am an artist! Regardless anyone with a decent art history knows an artist in the Renaissance could plot the murder of a rival artist in the streets.

[@fireproofart5526]

interesting...great job

[@chantalrochon3566]

Interesting way to mass produce😊

[@edwassermann8368]

cool

[@jesuslora9751]

So where is the art?

[@snapoutofoto]

You asking yourself?

[@armandogavilan1815]

Juvenile & kitsch stuff

[@madArt1981]

Nah, That’s not art. It’s industrialized Mass Production of decorative Zombie Art. For Interior Decorator’s and Blue Chip investment speculators. Not for Social Commentary or of Social Import. It’s like buying a mass produced printed paper plates

[@armandogavilan1815]

Childish & kitsch
