Early in 2020 I was contacted by an author in France who was writing a history of the Naughty Dog Studio for a publisher in that country. After 2 interviews I was contacted by the publisher and invited to create the cover art for the book.

“L’Histoire de Naughty Dog” is being released January 29 2021. It’s in the pre-order phase. Here’s a link to it. You can see they changed the color and tone of the composition but that’s okay. The original art is what I’m presenting.

I was under a lot of pressure when I started this. The Covid lockdowns hit and I was overwhelmed with trying to work with my existing onsite students who were migrating online.

I’m also including the individual sketches I created which were all incorporated into the final composition.

The publisher was very patient and I was compensated well for the job. So here’s the art for a fun and educational presentation. Thank you friends and Keep Creating !!
