This was an in-class project for Drawing Explorations where we had to create a piece using the same 'style' as an artist that we covered in a slide lecture, I chose the artist Takashi Murakami, a Japanese artist who embraces the colorful and cartoonlike pop-culture of Japan. He is best known for his Louis Vuitton monogram design. I chose him because his style was so indulgent and playful and I couldn't resist to make a piece so whimsical and bright.
