Last year, Steve Black Jr. of PkmnCast successfully hosted "649 Monsters" - an art show in Milwaukee featuring Pokémon inspired artwork from over 80 artists from across the world. Due to the success of last year's show, it is no surprise that Steve Black Jr. wants to host another show on August 2nd-3rd this year.

Battle City is the name of this second show, encompassing its theme of Pokémon in battle. This next show will feature the talents of over 100 incredibly skilled artists, including the well known Purple Kecleon, Kari Fry and Phil Gibson. However, the event needs your support (and if you wish to donate art, they are still looking for donations!).

Donations made to the Kickstarter will go towards helping to fund every aspect of the show, including the hiring of the space, the printing and framing of artwork, the cost of refreshments and printing costs of both this year's and last year's art books.

At the time of writing, the Kickstarter has reached just over $5000, with more Stretch Goals being reached with more donations, including a second Battle City event in the Winter if $20,000 is reached! There are only 32 days left though!
