Born in 1967, Sumiyoshi Kizuki first drew wider attention with her work on the Team Rocket expansion, and her cards have since become a kind of shorthand for the soft, crayon-like end of the TCG's visual range. The slightly rough, smudged texture sets her work apart even at thumbnail size and has stayed surprisingly consistent across what is now 220 standard TCG cards plus 29 in Pokémon TCG Pocket. She is reachable on Twitter, where she occasionally confirms upcoming credits.
