As a little girl, Micah Yates always wonder what is behind the neon yellow border line that enclosed every Pokémon illustration.
“As an older, developing artist, I decided to take to the brush and ‘erase’ that border that I loathed so much,” she said. “After practicing my card-painting skills for quite some time, people began coming to me, asking me to ‘retouch’ their own cards from decades ago that had once meant so much to them. Scratched Pikachus, bent Magikarps, old and faded Charizards – so many sent to me just so they could have one last chance in the spotlight.”
Also known as Lunumbra or Lunny on social media, the artist has been collecting and trading Pokémon cards for almost 23 years. Today, she refurbished old and worn cards that have been donated to her and transformed them into amazing works of art. Scroll down to see her latest creations.
