Artist Creates Colossal Pikachu Mosaic Using 12,987 Trading Cards
The year-long celebration of Pokémon's 20th anniversary continues with a partnership between The Pokémon Company International and British artist Quentin Devine. Unveiled in Paris today, Devine has crafted a massive Pikachu card that is the world's largest trading card mosaic at the time of this writing.
Devine assembled the world-record holding mosaic by arranging 12,987 Pokémon cards. The hulking card measures out to be about 10.9 yards tall by 7.7 yards wide, totaling at roughly 770 square feet. The original Pikachu image depicted in the mosaic was created by Pokémon illustrator Ken Sugimori.
There has been an outpouring of celebration surrounding Pokémon's 20th anniversary, including the announcement of new titles, the re-release of old ones, and incredible works of fan art. Make sure to see how your favorite Pokémon stacks up in our ranking of the original 151 here.
