dark pokemon

Recently, a friend told me that I’ve been designing dark Pokemon.  I couldn’t help but laugh because it’s true.  I’ve looked at my designs and I’d like to think they’re appealing, but also governed by some of my influences: Takashi Murakami, Jon Burgerman, Tim Burton, and Jason Sho Green.  My quirky designs lend themselves to the tokyo pop and vinyl toy scene (or at least I hope they do).  I regret not pursuing this design style back in 2003 when the whole scene was starting.

But anyways, here’s Thursday’s lunch paint taken to completion.  I was at Starbucks after the Drawing Club workshop today and just felt like creating art.  It took me about 3-4 hours to finish this.  Hope you guys enjoy!  Cheers

Sweet 16 suckaz!
