Shin Nagasawa

Shin Nagasawa has illustrated Pokémon TCG cards from 2009 to 2025, with work appearing across Sun & Moon, Sword & Shield, and Scarlet & Violet. The art leans into action-forward clarity—vibrant, contrasting color and focused, character-led staging.

Curatorial Commentary

“The card captures Luxray perched on a rooftop, surveying the urban landscape below. Its sleek form and striking blue accents stand out against the backdrop of towering buildings, creating a sense of watchfulness and agility. The scene feels charged with energy, as if Luxray is ready to spring into action at any moment. This snapshot highlights the Pokémon's keen instincts and its role as a guardian of the night.”
