				Takashi Murakami is best known for his crazy anime-influenced art, including the crazy shroom creatures and weird Sailor Moon mutants <a href="http://io9.com/355305/murakamis-freaky-posthuman-technicolor-visions-coming-to-new-york">we featured before</a>. (Not to mention his $5,000 signature Louis Vuitton purses.) But this 19-foot aluminum and titanium Oval Buddha sculpture, which goes on display in Brooklyn on Saturday, proves he also has a knack for creating giant characters who could easily be from another planet.				<a href="http://io9.com/375433/murakamis-alienesque-sculptures-arrive-in-brooklyn" title="Click here to read more about Murakami's Alienesque Sculptures Arrive in Brooklyn">More&nbsp;&raquo;</a>
