The Last of Us ~ Concept Art
Paintings by Cara Thayer & Louie Van Patten
The ever elusive question: How do I get better ‘quicker’? Well.. it involves a lot of sketchbooks, sketches, trial and error, studies and hard work - and that doesn’t come quickly. 30+ Sketchbooks, 3000+ pieces of paper, 10,000+ sketches
(( Seriously guys, this is one of the only ways you’re going to get anywhere. All that studying color theory, perspective and anatomy means little if you don’t practice it.))
This piece was in yesterday’s NYTimes and International Herald Tribune.. It was for a personal travel journey by Matt Gross. It’s about learning how to eat like a local in Vietnam. You can read the article here.
Working on this piece has been nothing but fighting pho cravings…
Big thanks to AD Corinne, always a pleasure!

“And where were you twenty years ago? Ten years ago? Where were you when I was new? When I was one of those maidens you always turned to?…
How dare you… how dare you come to me now when I am this?” - Molly
Gorgeous The Last Unicorn illustrations. I am so glad that Molly gets one - the above speech burned into me as a kid, even though I couldn’t really understand such pain and disappointment until years later.
I would hang all of these on my walls.
