Hey all,
I’ve invested a great deal of time looking for some solid artwork of the expansion Team Rocket Strikes Back. I am trying to find something that I can make into a play mat (or at least a wallpaper for my desktop). My favorite artwork is the Team Rocket Strikes Back Box artwork.
Here is a link to my ideal artwork: www.google.com/search?q=team+rocket+strikes+back+booster+box&espv=210&es_sm=122&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=VSs6U42PC5KgsATP0oG4Bg&ved=0CAoQ_AUoAw&biw=1600&bih=775#q=%E3%83%AD%E3%82%B1%E3%83%83%E3%83%88%E5%9B%A3%E3%81%AE%E9%80%86%E8%A5%B2&tbm=isch&facrc=_&imgdii=_&imgrc=SMyu_8SZjd-udM%253A%3B1I4lHJx1VxY78M%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Ftoycrane.ocnk.net%252Fdata%252Ftoycrane%252Fproduct%252F53f6b5c7c4.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.garitto.com%252Fproduct%252F16054341%3B640%3B609
Does anyone have suggestions on what I can use? I can’t find anything solid on Google images, archives on Japanese websites, or even the official Pokemon-Card website. I need something to profess my love for Team Rocket! I might go buy a t-shirt…
Cheers,

Oh, I love this set… it is so awesome. One of my favourites, and actually, I generally only collect wotc, but I make an exception with the rocket returns set because it focuses on older pokemon, and has awesome art.
I used to study art, and am a sketch artist; but barely find time to draw nowdays, but… one project I worked on was this.
One thing I do… is I collect uncut card sheets, and I experimented and framed a reverse parallel set of cards once, which we’re cut. So, like, hmm, I will get an image to give you an idea… I turned the open set of some marvel comics cards into this. I’m going to make an entire wall of pokemon eventually.
You could do something like this with the team rocket cards you have spare, then draw or impose that Japanese rocket symbol in the middle. You could hang it, then photograph and photoshop for your desktop. Lol

Very creative suggestions! I will look into learning Photoshop. 
I wonder if I could create a sheet with the spares like you said… It sounds like a very neat idea, but the main thing is that I would want to turn it into a play mat (only for decoration) or maybe a poster! Then again, maybe I will be able to find a poster on Y!J. I’ve seen a few for similar PCG sets.
Thanks for taking the time to reply!

Yeah, I think you could use something like I said as a table top, but, I think posters would be more suited to your needs, if you could find the coro coro magazines from around that series, that would be awesome.
Or even if you find old pokemon manga, they are dead cheap, and some of them have cool artwork on the fronts, and sometimes promo posters. I’m sure there is something good on those old manga.
