Takashi Murakami (aka the WARHOL of Japan)

Does popular imagery belong in fine art? Why or why not?


How does art that uses this type of imagery make you feel about mass production?

Murakami may be widly know and respected, but to me, his is not really that good. Don't get me wrong he is very talented, but most of his works that i have seen are really corny.
