When I first saw the pokebros, I knew I had to stitch them.
The artwork is by Paul Robertson, an Australian artist known for his work with Australian band Architecture in Helsinki, Mercenary Kings, and Scott Pilgrim vs The World: The Game.
Bros, Paul Robertson, 2011
These three works were created over the course of 2012. Each piece is 50cm x 80cm, with a wooden frame, the artwork mounted in recess.

These were donated to the PyLadies Charity Auction, and collectively raised more than USD$3100 for pyladies, helping to improve the diversity of the software industry as a whole.
The winners of these pieces were extremely happy.
