About the artist

From 2019 through 2025, GOSSAN is credited on 56 Pokémon Trading Card Game illustrations across the Sword & Shield and Scarlet & Violet era. Recent appearances include Paldean Fates, Temporal Forces, and Scarlet & Violet Black Star Promos, with additional work extending into other contemporary expansions.

Across these cards, GOSSAN’s approach leans cartoonish and colorful, built around vibrant palettes and frequent contrast. Compositions often read as balanced yet dynamic, with action-forward framing and clear character focus that keeps the subject prominent in the foreground. The prevailing mood is energetic and playful, occasionally shifting toward more intense beats while maintaining clean, readable staging. A representative example is Galarian Obstagoon. Among the most sought-after cards illustrated by GOSSAN is Mewtwo VSTAR.
