Did you know that for the past year I’ve been making a webcomic adaptation of all the original Sherlock Holmes stories? It started off as silly doodles while I read through the canon and quickly became an ongoing narrative that paired with a deep research dive into queer Victorian history.

Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson in the style of ligne claire. Late actor Jeremy Brett will always be the quintessential Sherlock Holmes to me, even though I appreciate some of the earlier and later interpretations also. #sherlockholmes #jeremybrett

Ligne claire illustration of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson at 221B Baker street. Sherlock is playing is violin, and Watson is sitting in a chair reading a newspaper.
