I my childhood so fondly, those were the days of the “pokemon phenomenon” as it was called back then in the 90s. I wanted to depict a nostalgic shot of a kid in his room surrounded by his digital pokemon friends. I’ve filled this image with nods to classic Pokemon, see if you can recognise them all!

I’ve been meaning for a long time to do a body of work based on deg characters in their rooms, I find it an interesting way to tell a viewer all about that person just by looking around their room. Our rooms are filled with things we love, our achievements, family photos, snaps of where you’ve been, etc, so their a great way to show what kind of person someone is.

A shout out to everyone who watched me do the lineart on livestream! 8D www.livestream.com/mmishee

    Wow. You have the real things and you're playing the game? Or just playing a game in general.

    If I had real pokemon I would be out on an adventure or playing with them at least.

    Also, the pokemon are cute.

    I don't think they are real.
    Look at them closely, they seem "staticy" and digital.
    It's like they're coming through from the game, either in his imagination or becoming "real".

    I think the more pertinent question is: You have an N64 and you're playing Pokemon Red?
    That said, this kid's freaking room has me in a huge nostalgia fest. I just wish he had the Pokemon 2000 poster I had hanging in my room waaay too many years past 2000.

    Not to mention, the stylistic choices for these Pokemon are really something, especially the way half of them just look like normal animals. It really is a fantastic piece of art.
