Takashi Murakami J-POP!

Something a little different for you all today, this is an art post. I've been planning on doing one of these since I picked up the latest POP Magazine with the living legend Britney Spears on the front cover in a collaboration with Takashi Murakami - Japanese pop meets American pop.

Front cover.

The pictures give a real dreamy/pageant queen feel, slightly blurred and very soft.

The bag, Moonboots and swimsuit in this image are all bought from Japan. 

Free Murakami stickers.

The whole interview had been given the Murakami treatment.

Britney and Takashi.

NB: all photos of magazine taken by me and my copy of POP so ask if you are going to use.


Takashi Murakami been described as a 'contemporary Warhol' and this isn't the first time he's dipped into pop-culture. Murakami designed the artwork for Kanye West's album art and promotions for the 'Graduation' album.

Murakami also directed this awesome, whimsical video featuring Kirsten Dunst which was played at the Tate Modern during their 'Pop life' exhibition:




Doesn't it make you want to run out a buy a blue wig?

Well hope you liked my slightly different post!
