He began work with the Pokémon Trading Card Game, illustrating the Walrein, Hippopotas, and Nidorino included in the Rising Rivals expansion.

These result in often surreal, heavy, multi-layered images reminiscent of oil paintings. His images often focus on muscle tone, expression or contrast and have themes influenced by cyberpunk or anime. The Pokémon he has portrayed are often very detailed, vibrant and in dynamic positions, among which include the Pokémon Pokémon C cards, which he provided all the artwork for (with the exception of LV.X variants).
