About Shinji Kanda
A Kyoto-born painter, Shinji Kanda brings experimental texture to card art: his debut Magmar was colored on a plastic sheet and then heat-shrunk to intensify the colors, and he has scanned crumpled aluminum foil into other pieces. Collectors particularly prize his eerie Giratina V Special Art from Lost Origin. He now paints in Procreate on iPad, deliberately importing those analog techniques, and plays the Pokémon games to build each Pokémon's image before drawing it.
Their most valuable card is Giratina V (#186/196, Lost Origin), estimated at $730–$940. Cards are ordered by estimated market value.
