About
Craig Turvey is known for his connection to the Pokémon Trading Card Game, specifically for winning a fan art contest held by Wizards of the Coast in early 2002. His winning submission depicted a sleeping Snorlax with a small Eevee, which was turned into an official Wizards Promo card. Turvey was announced as the winner at E3 2002, and his artwork was distributed through Pokémon Leagues in August 2002. This remains his only officially released Pokémon TCG illustration. Turvey's work has been recognized in various Pokémon-related media, and he is often cited in discussions about Pokémon art and merchandise. His Snorlax card has become a notable piece among collectors and fans of the franchise.
