I'm helping at Bristol Videogame Expo today, running the Pokémon Academy stand! If you're in the south west and fancy a fun day out, come say hi!

Everyone's favourite Pokémon; plus some weird ghost! Now everyone can experience this cursed image (it's up all Sunday at EUIC!) #pokemonart #pokemon #pokemonillustration #pokemoncommunity

Not my best work but in fairness, I only had ten minutes 😂 #pokemonart #euic #pokemon #pokemoncommunity

Queuing at Pokémon EUIC and the security dogs just got a photo with Eevee!!

Slightly spicy Pokémon opinion; any other long term fans getting bored of the constant Kanto emphasis? Since X and Y it's been a near constant that Kanto has a presence in everything.

The Pikachu crew has curry in Birmingham after a big day going 2-6. I'd barely done any practice before the Birmingham Pokémon videogame regional this weekend, so thought I'd take a fun team. This is my entry to the art competition on the Sunday. #pokemonart #pokemon #playpokemon #pokemonvgc

I painted designs onto the Christmas presents I wrapped this year. It's all silly and fuelled by late night eccentric tiredness 😂 #christmas #present #wrapping #illustration #inkdrawing

Look at all the bits I got whilst in Ipswich this weekend. Turns out every other craft market vendor and shop has hand made/3D printed Pokémon stuff - and clearly I'm a sucker for that 😅

I was in a French cafe waiting for friends, drawing Pokémon. Have I been playing too much ZA? 😂 #corviknight #corviknightfanart #pokemonart #pokemonfan #pokemonza

Pikachu and friends- watercolour pencils, ink. November and December have been busy - this took a month to do! Wish I'd watered the ink for the sky more before applying it, it overpowers the watercolours. Nevermind, it's all fun. #pikachu #torchic #squirtle #chespin #pokemonart

It's spooky Giratina time! For whatever reason it looks much more striking in person, but the photos still look cool. Making good use of all my little artistic discoveries about ink, bleach, highlighters, watercolours and how they interact #Giratina #Pokémon #Halloween #illustration

Spooky forest Pokémon! I love the watercolour trees and forest part on the left and it's good to know I can use highlighter on bleached parts. #pokémon #Halloween #inkdrawing #haunter #duskull #pokemonillustration

Haven't had time to finish anything recently so here's some pyrography I did a few years ago! Loved doing this, drawing with fire is so cool, but equally difficult to find the space to actually do it at home. On account of the "writing with fire" part 😅 #pyrographyartwork #Pokémon #pokemonfanart

I found blue ink! This was a really quick experiment to see how blue ink and bleach interacted (featuring Megas!) And fyi, when your art paper runs out, don't skimp on the GSM of the replacement. Especially if you paint with bleach! 😅 #pokemonart #pokemoncommunity #pokemon #MegaPokemon

Mewtwo - Ink, bleach, watercolour, highlighter pens. #mewtwo #pokemonart #pokemon #illustration #drawing #artgallery #pokemonfanart

Lugia, ink, bleach and watercolour. This is mostly just ink. The bleach and watercolour are just extra texture - I've included images from before as well to compare #lugia #pokemon #illustration #painting #inkdrawing

Ho-oh, watercolour, ink, bleach. I've been busy moving house so haven't had much time or space to do painting recently. I've found that watercolour pencil isn't good at large areas like a sky. Still turned out okay though. #pokemon #pokemonfanart #hoohpokemon #illustration #watercolor

Just a happy little pyromaniac 🥰 I did this the opposite way around to normal, inking and shading before colouring and bleaching the combination. Not sure it'd always work but did here. #charmander #charmander🔥 #pokemonart #pokemonillustrator #pokemon #inkart #inkdrawing #watercolour #watercolor

What if I said nothing about this picture is what I intended at the start, and that's why it's turned out so well? Art, right? #bulbasaur #bulbasaurart #pokemonart #pokemonillustrator #pokemoncommunity #watercolour #watercolor

Squirtle, Pokémon, ink, bleach and watercolour. #squirtle #squirtlesquad #pokemonart #pokemonillustrator #inkdrawing #watercolor #watercolour

The paintress...? I was trying a more subtle, wavery effect. The legs turned out well, but the top half was quite ink heavy. It's given me some other ideas though. #expedition33 #maelle #clairobscur #clairobscurexpedition33 #inkart #inkdrawing

An experiment to see if I can paint ink on top of ink that's already been bleached. Answer is yes, but it runs and I can't do lighter layers as easily. It looks cool though. I like the moon effect. #batman #batmanfanart #illustration #inkdrawing

Sing like no one is listening 🎶 I didn't plan a pithy quote, I just messed the music notes 😅. The idea came from Sirene in Expedition 33, I just felt like drawing a dancing Pikachu 😂 #pikachu #pikachu⚡ #pokemonart #pokemonillustrator #illustration #inkdrawing

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Ink, bleach, watercolour and pencil Busy couple of weeks, so naturally I chose a complex image that meant I spent ages on just one painting 😅. Loving Expedition 33 so much and the ink/bleach fits it's look so well. #clairobscur #expedition33 #inkart #illustration

I've been busy at a wedding this week, so here's a throwback to 2017, where I got second place in the art competition at the Pokémon European Championships (they still have drawing, but sadly no longer allowed to be a competition). #pokemonart #pokemonillustrator #pokemon #mimikyu #illustration

Eevee! I thought the work in progress looked really cool as well, have a look at those. Eevee, Pokémon - ink, bleach and watercolour. #eevee #eeveelutions #eeveeart #pokemonart #pokemoncommunity #illustration

Just had someone stop me to compliment how well ironed my shirt is, then startedexplaining how tumble dryers work. Stay weird Bristol 😂

I started drawing and wasn't in the mood for my usual pieces - this was fueled by listening to Visions of Atlantis Ink and bleach. Not sure about the composition (the ship is too high up?), but I like how the ocean turned out. #illustration #inkdrawing #inkart #visionsofatlantis #pirates #ship

Leafeon, Pokémon Watercolour, ink and bleach. #leafeon #pokemon #pokemonart #pokemonillustrator #leafeonart

Mimikyu, Pokémon Ink, bleach and highlighter This was on a whim. I like it though. #pokemon #PokemonArt #mimikyu #MimikyuArt

Glaceon, Pokémon, watercolour and ink. After seeing how much more effective Espeon looked with black ink outlines I wanted to try the same for Glaceon. I really like how those lines look like Legends Arceus. #pokemon #pokemonart #glaceon #glaceonart #pokemonillustrator

Sylveon, Pokémon; watercolour, highlighters, ink Something a bit different! Sylveon seems like they belong in their own little pastel world - I've used highlighters around the edges to create that. But also 🏳️‍🌈!! #sylveon #pokemonart #pokemon #sylveonart #sylveonpokemon #pride #pridemonth

Umbreon, Pokémon Ink and bleach, with watercolour (and red highlighter). I was trying to mirror the Espeon I previously did - not literally (maybe I should?) but with elements like the light across the piece and the contrasting light/dark tones. #umbreon #UmbreonArt #pokemon #PokemonArt

Espeon, Pokémon Watercolour, with ink and bleach Espeon is my favourite Eeveelution ☺️ The light beam in the background is a spread of ink that's been bleached out, but I think pure watercolour may have been better? Something to note for next time. #espeon #EspeonArt #pokemon #pokemonart

Vaporeon, Pokémon. Ink, bleach and watercolour I wanted this to feel lighter compared to the previous two, so went with more of a minimal style. I think I've overworked this? Nevermind, lesson learned! #pokemon #pokemonart #Vaporeon #vaporeonart

Flareon, Pokémon. Ink, bleach and watercolour pencils. I was trying for a slightly shimmery effect, similar to heat haze. #flareon #pokemon #flareonart #pokemonart

Jolteon, Pokémon. Ink and bleach, with some watercolour. This is what started my doing a series of Eeveelutions pieces - bleach gives this brilliant burned effect that works brilliantly for the lightning effects. #pokemon #jolteon #jolteonart #pokemonart #art

Going to start posting some of my art! Clair Obscure: Expedition 33. Ink and Bleach: I've enjoyed using Ink and bleach recently, it gives such a vibrant burnt yellow effect cutting through the ink - which matches the colour scheme of Expedition 33 really well. @expedition33.bsky.social

Well this aged badly. 6-2, finally made day 2 at a regional!

The last time I attended the Birmingham NEC to play Pokémon VGC I made top cut (or the 2010 equivalent). Safe to say that isn't likely to happen this weekend 😂
