Takashi Murakami is best known for his "superflat" style, which draws on imagery from anime, manga, and other visual elements of Japanese pop culture. Takashi Murakami's work walks a smudged line between commercial and "high" art.

Murakami does not limit himself to two dimensions, though... just ask Mr. Pointy.
