Pokémon Receipt Collage

Summary

A textured monochrome collage built entirely from Japanese receipts to mark 30 years of Pokémon.

Visual description

A collage built from fragmented Japanese receipt paper with printed text, timestamps, and transaction details. A Pokemon character figure is superimposed centrally within the receipt texture field. The entire composition uses the receipt's inherent grain, printing imperfections, and typography as its visual material, set against a pale background.

Key takeaway

Transform ephemeral everyday materials like receipts into fine-art collage by treating their inherent texture and information density as design elements rather than decorative support.
