Tim Burton Inspired Pokemon Art


I'm a huge Tim Burton fan.  I know he's not everyone's cup of tea, but there's just something about his macabre, grotesque style that I just find fascinating...that and he's made some of my favorite movies (i.e., Batman, Beetlejuice, Pee-Wee's Big Adventure, Big Fish, etc).

Something that I was never a big fan of, was Pokemon.  I never got the appeal of collecting cards, let alone card-based games.  But, had they looked like these, my feelings may have been a bit different.  Artist hatboy has started a series of illustrations, focused on re-imagining classic Pokemon characters using a Burton-esqe twist.

You can check out more of his work after the break and be sure to check out his tumblr for new character designs and a variety of his other work.

Stay nerdy my friends :)
