-well first a question, I know Chinese is a very sought after language on a resume for many marketing and business majors...Is a Chinese or Japanese ( in this case) language a good thing to know? Obviously this is subjective to your field, etc. But is this the language to know in the art field?
-I found it very interesting when she talked about Murakami's works with Louis Vuitton and Marc Jacobs. I find it so interesting that the two are constantly crossing over. For a design II stamp project someone in my class did Murakami and I only knew who he was from the Louis Vuitton bags and not from his art field work. That to me is very interesting because he has touched on two fields that range through a huge mass of people especially when working with fashion and something so branded like Louis Vuitton bags. I love fashion so I knew the Speedy bag he worked on immediately.
-I like his creativeness in naming his company Kaikai Kiki Co., Ltd. that when reversed it means strange uneasy, or disturbing phenomena. Clever things like this make a company not have a good name, but an interesting name that someone would want to work with because they're clever and creative. Its nice to hear backgrounds of things you think could be simply a random name. I also can't help but think of the Beatles sgt. pepper album and the conspiracy of playing it backwards.
-I like the part of saying he works in flat colors because I too like to work with flat colors and I feel that it is frowned upon by many in art fields but he has a graphic edge to him which is why I think I like his work so much.
-Really liked how he documents every layer of his paintings so he can follow when he's not around. This shows he's involved in his work to the intimate details of singular layers of a painting so he keeps himself in his work which I feel becomes a problem all to often when there is a demand.
