Why this must be read:

I think all too many people perhaps miss the fact that Nathan Drake is an artist. I don't think it is every said in the game, attention not really drawn to it, but his in-game journal used for puzzle hints primarily is beautifully done and an extra lovely way they insert more character into the game. It being his journal the implication is of course that he sketches down all these mottos and statues and anything that could be helpful that he sees in his travels.

This fic is the first and only fic I've read that actually relates his drawing to him as a character, that talks about how he started, why he continues to, past the obvious usefulness in his profession and as a plot device - which is why I highly recommend this fic for an non-standard view into who Nate is.
