The David Schwen Poke Series is Inspired by the Pokemon Cartoon
Meghan Young — April 23, 2011 — Lifestyle
Clearly the David Schwen Poké series was created by a emphatic fan who just needed to surround himself with Pokemon paraphernalia that just isn't available on the market (yet). Although Schewen has only created four such unique products, I can only hope that it doesn't end there, especially considering how well-executed each of them is.
The David Schwen Poké series is a fun collection of objects and photos that includes a beer can, burger box, banana and book cover that have all been covered strategically with paint in the colors of red, black and white to take the form of a familiar logo. I especially like how David Schwen Poké series has sayings like "Gotta drink ‘em all!"
