About this work
This piece was my first-ever screen print — and like most firsts, it came with a heavy mix of excitement, blind confidence, and several rounds of minor existential dread. Produced with the brilliant (and absurdly patient) folks at K2 Screens — who also print for Harland Miller, Stik, and Peter Blake — we dragged this 12-layer analogue miracle into the real world, one squeegee stroke at a time.
Each layer had to be meticulously registered by hand — and unlike modern digital layering (CTRL+Z for the win), a mistake here meant tears, retries, and even more coffee. Some of the inks used were semi-transparent, so getting that sweet nostalgic Pokémon yellow? Let’s just say it took more trials than a Mewtwo lab escape.
The concept? Simple. Pokémon cards were the original NFTs. Tangible, tradable, and sometimes worth a small fortune (especially if you’d had the foresight not to battle with your holographic Charizard on the playground tarmac). Just like NFTs, they were about ownership, rarity, and bragging rights. This piece tips its trucker cap to that era — a time when our idea of the metaverse was mostly limited to Game Boys linked by cables so short you had to kneel on the same carpet.
It sold out in under 6 minutes. Just like the good old days when you’d queue for a booster pack and pray for a shiny. Thank you to everyone who bought one!
Printed on 410gsm Somerset (because I like our paper like I like my nostalgia: heavy and archival), each one comes with a hand-numbered floppy disk certificate — because if you’re going to mint nostalgia, you might as well do it properly.
