Shinji Kanda

Dense colour, line, and surreal atmosphere

Shinji Kanda’s cards combine dense colour, line, and texture into distinctive, often surreal scenes. Pokémon’s official artist-debut feature traces his TCG arrival to Brilliant Stars and singles out Giratina and Ariados from Lost Origin. Its later Scarlet & Violet—151 feature examines how his Aerodactyl uses separated bands of sky and mountains to intensify its scale. These are images to explore slowly: the background is an active part of the encounter.
