Superflat Chaos

This project revolves around the designer Takashi Murakami who is a Japanese contemporary artist who was born and raised in Tokyo Japan. One of the most acclaimed artists to emerge from post-war Asia, Takashi Murakami is known for his signature “Superflat” aesthetic: a colorful, two-dimensional style that straddles the division between fine art and pop culture as it unites elements of anime, Japanese nihonga, and ukiyo-e woodcuts. He works in fine arts media such as painting and sculpture as well as commercials like fashion, merchandise, and animation. He also worked in anime and manga, and the larger subculture of otaku. The purpose of this project is to design a set of stamps and a panel that represents his style.
