- This is a Pokemon map. The image on the left is all 151 Pokemon from the first generation and the image on the right is all the maps of the Pokemon world. I chose to use Pokemon as my theme because, to this day, I still love it. It's what I grew up on and yet I still enjoy playing it every day.
- To create the image, I appropriated all the images of the Pokemon and maps from an online forum. I imported the images into Photoshop and then changed the opacity, fill, and gradients to produce a piece that I found aesthetically pleasing. I violated no copyright laws because the images I used were produced under Free -Use already. I also modded each image beyond recognition.
- To me, my piece is happy and fun. Others may interpret it as dark or mysterious because it has no obvious meaning and the colors are dark and ominous. The title is 151-M (151 for the number of Pokemon I used and M for the maps i appropriated and for the assignment title).
- I would have liked to do more with it, but struggled with concepts and with time.
Dedicated to Ash Ketchum:
ASH
On trading
cards and TV shows,
He meant so
much to me.
He’d grab
his elements and go -
of fire,
earth, and sea.
It seemed it
was his destiny,
to find them
in the grass.
Team Rocket
was his enemy.
He always
beat their ass.
His sidekick
was a Pikachu.
They never were
apart.
They’d roam
until the day was through,
adventures from
the start.
Collecting
badges was his gig.
He always
passed the test.
A hero to us
nineties kids,
our
generation’s best.
