ABOUT
Shin Nagasawa graduated in 1994 and spent several years as a graphic designer at Square — contributing concept art to Final Fantasy VII and IX — before going freelance in 2000.
His first Pokémon cards, Dragonite FB and Regigigas FB, appeared in Supreme Victors in 2009. His card style shifts between solid black outlines with extreme shadow and softer colour shading, but the constant is composition: he focuses on motion and on one specific part of the Pokémon's body, usually at a tilt.
He has also drawn for the Etrian Odyssey series, serialised manga, and Marvel, and has produced packaging artwork for several Pokémon expansions. He self-publishes under the names JASON and J-mura.
