Continuing our Pokémon connected art series. Today we’re looking at these two cards from Crown Zenith. The artwork is by You Iribi.
I like this set for a couple of reasons. First Pikachu and Eevee are nicely drawn and CLEARLY the subject of their individual cards. The connected art is definitely hidden art as these two cards were released separately and Pikachu is a Black Star Promo. However, as a graphic designer I think the Pokémon company squandered a design opportunity.
What they should have done was to extend the colors at the borders to the neighboring card.
