About
Garfémon is a series of fan art character illustrations drawn by Shawn Bowers as a crossover between the original 150 Pokémon characters and the iconic comic strip character Garfield.
Origin
On August 17th, 2016, Bowers launched Garfémon on Tumblr, [1] a site devoted to his illustrations of Pokémon/Garfield drawings that he said he updates daily with a new drawing of a Garfield x Pokémon character, captioned with a description that parodies Pokédex descriptions for Pokémon in the games. He also announced the project on his Instagram account.[2] His first illustration was a cross between Garfield and Bulbasaur, which gained 70 likes on Instagram and 42 notes on Tumblr.
Spread
Over the next month, Bowers updated both his Instagram and Tumblr every day with a new drawing. On September 20th, ComicsAlliance[4] covered the project, as did The Daily Dot[3] on September 22nd.
