Why this piece is awesome: There are relatively few artworks out there of Tess, one of my favourite TLOU characters, and this is lovely. Semi-abstract, it captures her strength and anguish.

Artist Website/Gallery: The tumblr post links to an IG account that's gone.
Why this piece is awesome: I thought I'd do more recs for TLOU as series 2 is coming mid April - I'll need to rec art from that series later in the year. This is a gorgeous piece set, I guess, late in series 1, when Joel's accepted his role as Ellie's dad. Love the orange sky, and the feels.

Why this piece is awesome: There's very little art out there featuring Tess, so I wanted to include this one, of the final confrontation before Joel and Ellie leave. Great use of light and colour, excellent likenesses, and lots of drama.

Why this piece is awesome: It's the classic scene of Bill and Frank eating strawberries in their garden, from the wonderful third episode of TLOU. The light's gorgeous, glowing with sunset behind them, a metaphor for their last happy years together. There's also a grayscale version with only the strawberries in red. Lovely.

Why this piece is awesome: I'm kicking off this month's recs for TLOU with this gorgeously detailed pencil drawing. It's posted as the whole pic plus some detail enlargements. There's an amazing level of detail, really lovely, and featuring our favourite tetchy 'father-daughter' combo.
