#Famed International Artists Put Their PokéSpin on New Pokémon UNIQLO UT Shirts

Pokémon is going high class in the newest UT line from the Monster company at UNIQLO. Famed designers Meguru Yamaguchi, known for their brushwork, and James Jarvis, who’s known for his toy work, took to the drawing apparatus to create new designs in their own style in the new “Pokémon Meets Artist UT” line.

Meguru Yamaguchi is based out of Brooklyn and focuses mostly on brushwork that is universal by nature. here are his designs:

James Jarvis on the other hand is a world-famous toymaker who dabbles in comic creation from London, who is using his cartoony drawing style to bring out different expressions in the Pokémon. His designs are below:

It’s not known if these designs will go internationally at this time, but the popularity of the other Pokémon (and anime!) UT lines, it’s likely these will make their way outside the country. For now though, the normal T-shirts in the “Men’s” sizes (though, they’re unisex) are 1,500 yen (US$14), the sweatshirts are 1,990 yen (US$18), and the kid’s versions are 990 yen (US$9) for the tees, with the sweatshirts at 1,500 yen (US$14).

A majority of the designs will be released on August 27 in stores and online in Japan, with the rest available in mid-September
