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 Arctovish card captures the Pokémon gliding gracefully through icy waters, its vibrant blue body contrasting beautifully with the cool aquatic environment. With a cheerful expression, it seems to embody a sense of playfulness and curiosity, as if exploring its frosty habitat. The bubbles surrounding it add a dynamic touch, suggesting movement and life beneath the surface. This scene invites viewers to appreciate the unique charm of this fossil Pokémon in its natural setting.”
