A Sunday at Brooklyn Museum~!
Ugh, my stomach hurts from the sesame chicken I ate just now. ;_; And I only ate a little more than half of it. Tiny appetite is tiny.
I just spent the day dying from the heat. orz. I'm sweating everywhere! It's so HOT! ಭ_ಭ It's not even mid summer yet....
Anyway, I went to the Brooklyn Museum on Sunday to see the Takashi Murakami exhibit on it's last day. BOY, it was packed (dammit, fellow New Yorkers....). You might know him as the guy who designed those ultra popular Louis Vuitton bags a couple of years back with sakura petals and weird looking creatures. The exhibit was beautiful and some were outright lulzy. I took a few pictures. I have more but they're on my cell. And urk, it looks blurred in some places...
This is one of this recurring characters DOB, it looks cute non-deformed but these psychedelic painting was sex for the eyes, bb.
This painting was HUEG and so coloful~♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥! It's my favorite piece of his in the whole gallery~!
And this last one is of a statue which is really beautiful. I wish I had an actual camera. There were two rooms FULL of flowers on the walls. It was awesome and I want my room to look like that!
Here a vid on Youtube were they were building the HUEG statue at the entrance of the museum. I have a pic of it in my phone of it as well.
While the gallery was mostly cute and surprisingly deep, some of it was... well, very salacious. You probably heard of his infamous piece call 'My Lonesome Cowboy', which is a statue of a naked Cloud from Final Fantasy 7 lookalike, using his... err... sperm as a lasso. The artwork is EXTREMELY NOT SAFE FOR WORK and I do have a pic of it, I'm not going to post it since this is a public entry, but you can Google it and it will pop up in the image finder. It supposed to be a commentary of sexuality of otaku influencing the anime/manga industry. Surprisingly deep, I know. The piece was recently brought for over 15 MILLION DOLLARS at Sotheby's in England.
I had fun and I wished that I didn't miss half of the video gallery since me and my friend went 2 hours before closing. It had a video of Kanye West's Good Morning which was beautiful (Murakami designed the cover of Kanye's latest album as well). Another clip was of some live action film Murakami was involved in and there was two episodes of more two of his original characters named Kai Kai and Ki Ki. I didn't get to see half of one episode before we had to leave because the exhibit was closing in 30 minutes. But it's adorable and funny. She thought we could find it on the net but so far, I couldn't, but there is a trailer of it.
It was really fun and worth every cent of $8 that I spent to see it even in 2 hours. If your town is hosting his stuff in the future, I seriously recommend that you go and see it. I'm glad that my utterly persistent friend woke me up to see it. LOL.
Also, I gotten some money so my financial situation is better right now. So I don't feel guilty buying those Reborn anthologies now. LOL. Maybe I should make a pic of my anthology collection so far next entry when I get my latest loot? Maybe.
But I really need to buy some original manga, I'm SO far behind series, it's not funny. Hopefully, my order will come in tomorrow so I can shop in Manhattan all day. I need to buy two pair of shoes and a pair of shirts after all on top of that. My flats are starting to fuck up my legs. A big no-no for me. I already suffer from ultra sensitive feet already.
