Midori Harada

Midori Harada has been credited on Pokémon TCG cards from 2003 to 2024, spanning more than 350 illustrations. Across EX, Diamond & Pearl, and Sun & Moon, the work favors vibrant, playful color and clear, character-forward compositions with occasional action-driven framing.

Curatorial Commentary

“The card depicts Muk in a murky, natural setting, surrounded by earthy tones and textures that evoke a sense of its toxic nature. With its gooey form and expressive eyes, Muk seems to embody a mix of mischief and menace, hinting at its ability to spread confusion and poison. The background suggests a world where this Pokémon thrives, blending seamlessly into the environment that mirrors its own sludge-like appearance. This scene captures a moment of quiet intensity, where Muk stands as both a character and a force”
