Description
Mitsuhiro Arita - Pokémon No.1 Pikachu Trophy Commissioned Illustration Original Art (2017). The illustration offered here is the first time that Heritage Auctions has the pleasure of offering an original done by one of the most prolific artists to ever work on Pokémon, Mitsuhiro Arita. Arita started producing artwork for Pokémon from the very beginning, during prototype stages, even before the release of Pokémon Red and Green in 1996. The illustration depicts Pikachu holding a trophy above his head, which is very similar to the image used for the Trophy Pikachu No. 1 Trainer card awarded to first-place winners at the first Official Pokémon Tournament. Arita is the artist who provided the artwork for the card. Arita drew the illustration as a commission during a 2017 convention in Italy. Marker rendered on watercolor board with an image area of approximately 5.25" x 6.5", framed for an overall approximate size of 7.25" x 9". There's a 1.25" crease near the top of Pikachu's ears, with no color breaks. The illustration is signed by the artist in the lower margin. Overall, in Very Good condition.Auction Info
