I literally wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for Pokemon. That filthy Pokemon Yellow cartridge is how I learned English.
Being born and raised in Brasil, I spoke Portuguese but really wanted to play the game so I kept that GBC in one hand and an english-portuguese dictionary on the other.
So, of course, I had to celebrate the OGs in their iconic color palete.

Happy Birthday Mewtwo!
This is the first of a series of four pieces capturing each of the legendary pokemon from Kanto and their iconic habitats (or, in this case, birthplace). I've always loved the Burnt Tower piece I did a couple years ago so I thought would be fun to revisit the concept, but for Kanto. Hope you enjoy catching all the nods and references. Have you spotted Mew?

In heavy anticipation to Cult of the Lamb's Woolhaven, I decided to work on this piece, another one in my Isometric Nostalgia series, where I condense the whole of the game into a tiny traditionally-inked diorama.
I had been aware of Cult of the Lamb, but hadnt played it until my GF introduced it to me as one of her favorite games and the Goat DLC, unholly alliance, dropped. It was funny when I realized accidentally i had added at least a nod to each of the major expansions in this piece.
I also wanted to do something special so I created this more somber, monochromatic with touches of red and gold version of the painting so if that floats your boat, nab it while you can!
