Oh man, he makes me want to deduce. <3

Sherlock Holmes

I grew up in a blue collarish kind of neighborhood. That was my introduction to Sherlock Holmes.

Sherlock Holmes - Benedict Cumberbatch

Like many people I was very impressed by the recent BBC Sherlock Holmes series. The writing was great and the casting was excellent. Both Martin Freeman and Benedict Cumberbatch nailed the parts to a tee. Mr Cumberbatch would probably have been doomed to a career in costume dramas as he has the face ( and the name ) from another age. So I attempted to do my portrait in a cod Joshua Reynolds sketch style.

Two-Fer

I shamefully missed Cav's birthday round yesterday, so here are pale imitations of his creations dressed, in the spirit of the season, as Holmes and Moriarty.

Sherlock Holmes: Muppet Reichenbach Falls

So the story goes, feeling constrained by his character's immense popularity, Sherlock Holmes creator Arthur Conan Doyle had him meet his end fighting arch nemesis Moriarty atop Reichenbach Falls in Switzerland (of course, eventually, he got better). Here I've recreated the scene with Muppet Sherlock Hemlock standing in for the great detective. Now you know where he disappeared to after those first few seasons of Sesame Street.

Sherlock Holmes

I’m pretty much a Holmes purist.
I love the original stories (most of them, The Creeping Man was the…er…clunker for me).
I don’t care for anyone else’s “versions” of Sherlock. TV shows, Holmes in WWII England, cartoons or whatever alternate reality that Robert Downey Jr.’s version came from. They hold no interest for me. The faithful Granada television adaptions are the only exception to this rule. That was a great series that I highly recommend.

I call my sketch, “Clue.”
