THE ARTIST
Yuu Nishida is what the Pokemon Card Game Illustration Grand Prix was built to produce. The illustrator from Akita entered the first Grand Prix, won it outright, and her winning artwork became a printed promo card. The company kept calling, and she has been an official card illustrator ever since, with dozens of tracked cards across the modern sets.
Winning an open contest and turning it into a standing career is the modern path into this business, and Nishida walked it first.
