I’m not sure this thread exists, but can we try to compile a list of official artist IG/socials? I’m not sure how many are even on here but I’d love to see more artists on my newsfeed even if they don’t post Pokemon art.

To advocate for all of us, please use those accounts to like/follow their works, but please don’t reach out to the artists to ask for favors, specific Pokemon-related information, or anything that feels like a greater demand than showing appreciation. At times, there can be a fragile relationship between fans, the artists, and the company that oversees their work with Pokemon, and we should all do our best to preserve it.
Anyone know the social to this artist? He/she is one of the artists who submitted for the Pokemon Illustration contest this year, I like the look of it.
This is great!! I love seeing the artists get appreciation!

I would love to see an entire thread dedicated to the creation/preservation of healthy relationships between Pokémon artists and us fans. I think there is still a lot to be learned by many (including myself) particularly on how the artists view signings and events.
For example, from what I know about the Yuki Morii mail-in signing she had to stop because she was receiving excessive amounts of cards from the same people. Not only that, but she was asked to personalize them as “To: Ash” or “To: Pikachu”. That appeared to me as a blatant attempt to circumvent the personalized nature and sell to a wider audience, essentially taking advantage of her generosity. I imagine she was fully aware of what was happening.
I’m not Officer Jenny or anything and I don’t particularly have an issue with people selling signed cards, but it does seem like a grey area that should be treaded carefully. I would love to know how the artists feel about things like that. I’d also love to know how other collectors feel about re-selling signatures.
@pfm Here’s the formatted list. I’ve reordered it alphabetically for clarity, added new accounts (and missing ones from @quuador post), fixed a dead link, added some Youtube links and added some more Twitter accounts for already present artists. Feel free to remove/reorder as you want!
