John Pound painted over 500 of the approximately 800 GARBAGE PAIL KIDS paintings made for Topps. They are listed below by sticker number, for first US appearance. (Reprints are not listed.) The highest published sticker was #620. Published GPKs not in this list were painted by other artists.
Unpublished GPKs are not listed here, as they have no official number or name. (Yes, some GPKs were too weird or disgusting for Topps!) Eventually, most of John's unpublished GPKs were published as "LOST GPKs" or other bonus cards.
Series Sixteen was completed, and was scheduled to be published in 1989, but it was not published. Years later, many of the Series 16 paintings were published in the 2003 GARBAGE PAIL KIDS All-New Series 1 release, along with some new art. More paintings from Series 16 were later published as "LOST GPKs" subsets in the GPK FLASHBACK sets.
Some of the large puzzles on the backs of GPK stickers were made from John's paintings on the fronts.
