For your consideration, probably the best painting of Pikachu we have ever seen! ...a rare and original hand-painted artwork by internationally acclaimed artist James Dillon Wright, professionally known as Dillon Boy. Renowned for his bold figurative style and signature fusion of graffiti techniques with pop culture iconography and subversive wit. Artist: Dillon Boy (USA, b. 1979) Title: Smile Before the Storm Medium: Spray Paint, Acrylic & Oil Pens on Canvas Style: Pop Art / Urban Art Dimensions: 36" x 48" (91,44 × 121.92 cm) About the Artwork In this original painting, artist Dillon Boy (DBOY) presents a serene, focused interpretation of Pikachu, rendered with a confident, graphic clarity and a softened, painterly surface. The work emphasizes presence over action, transforming a globally recognizable character into a quiet, centered figure with understated energy. Pikachu is depicted seated and facing forward, its simple expression and symmetrical pose creating a sense of calm and approachability. Set against a vertically layered background of warm yellows, teal, and subtle accent colors, the composition feels grounded and balanced. Drips, light scuffs, and visible paint textures introduce depth and human touch, gently breaking the flatness while preserving the character’s iconic form. Executed using acrylic paint with hand-applied detailing and layered surface treatment, this painting moves beyond straightforward character illustration. It stands as a contemporary pop work that blends nostalgia, restraint, and modern painterly sensibility, showcasing Dillon Boy’s ability to distill familiar imagery into a composed, collectible visual statement.

A Word From the Artist… “In my work, I fuse decades of pop, graffiti, and street culture. Sometimes that means experimenting with AI, but it’s never about the machine. It’s still a tool, and I’m the one directing it. Each piece requires skill, vision, and the ability to ask the right questions to shape something authentic. These are experiments in freedom, humor, and storytelling and even though I’ve been doing this for over 35 years every time I pick up the brush I feel like I just started! New series coming soon!!
