Tadanori Yokoo

Before the rising sun graphic became a popular design for surfer brah companies and cartoon animations, there was Tadanori Yokoo. Regarded as one of the most influential graphic designers of the 20th century, Yokoo has developed his own distinct artistic style that might make him seem like a David Bowie meets Andy Warhol. Recognized internationally, his work evokes a mystic and psychedelic feeling, as he's done artwork for famous musicians and films.

Check out one part to his very interesting "Kachi Kachi Yama" film series here.

His work can be bought on his website, or for a grip of money here, or for cheap on amazon here.
