1. I get a kick out of the fact that Murakami doesn't use Illustrator, or rather he doesn't know how to. It's a sign of a true traditional artist who likes to stick to what he knows. Or maybe he just finds it troublesome to explore other mediums; whatever floats your boat Murakami, your work already looks like vector work as is.
2. I appreciate Murakami's devotion to his use of color (flat color). It lends his work a very sharp crisp and bright look, something that me a designer finds very attractive.
3."I threw out my general life so I can make concentration for my job."Holy crap is this guy ever so focused. Six years in college and I can't think of a single moment where I wasn't finding enjoyment in my general life. I can understand where he's going with this, but it feels a little too extreme for me. You gotta have the fun and everyday relaxation to balance out the work.
4. Respect. I greatly respect his activeness and interaction with all of his studios.
5. Merchandise, merchandise, merchandise. I remember this very much about Murakami, and it seems to be a very big thing amongst the Japanese. I don't knock it, in fact I think it's nice that he can find use in his work outside of the gallery halls.
