ARTIST TRACKER
242 Pokemon TCG illustrators, ranked by what collectors actually grade. Illustrator credits come from the printed cards; population totals pool every tracked print of each illustration, English and Japanese alike. These pages rebuild from fresh data on every site update, so an artist whose work starts moving shows it here without anyone writing a word. The 30d column counts new gradings across the artist's whole catalog in the last month, which is the closest thing this market has to a real time attention meter.

Why track artists at all
Because the market does, whether or not it says so out loud. Special illustration rares turned illustrator names into a pricing factor: the same Pokemon at the same rarity sells differently depending on whose art is on it, and runs on an artist's older catalog often follow a hit new card. Ranking by graded population keeps this honest. It measures submitted slabs, which cost money, rather than social chatter, which is free.
Artist tracker questions
Where do illustrator credits come from?
From the printed cards, via the open pokemon-tcg-data card database. Every card names its illustrator in the bottom margin, and that credit is the join key for these pages.
Why is an artist I follow missing?
The tracker lists illustrators with at least five tracked cards and one hundred total gradings, joined across the English card database. An artist whose work exists mostly in untracked promos or non English exclusives can fall under those floors.
Do Japanese prints count toward an artist's totals?
Yes. Population totals pool every tracked print of each illustration, because the art is the artist's in every language. Per card prices shown are for the English base print unless labeled.
