For Edgar,

 

My pen is behaving badly (yes I am blaming the pen), it took me two tries to get it right and I’m leaving it up to you to decide if it is right.

Today (January 19) is Edgar Allan Poe’s Birthday so in honour of the occasion I’m posting the pen sketch above. One of my favourites (couldn’t pick just one) from his work is “The Gold-Bug”, what’s yours?

The Study of Sherlock

(Sherlock's Study, C.nick Arach, 2010)

This sketch is from the "Musgrave Ritual" a short story from "The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes". It depicts Sherlock's study as described by Watson in the beginning of the story:

"But with me there is a limit, and when I find a man who keeps his cigars in the coal-scuttle, his tobacco in the end of a Persian slipper, and his unanswered correspondence transfixed by a jack-knife into the very centre of his wooden mantelpiece, then I begin to give myself virtuous airs. I have always held, too, that pistol practice should be distinctly an open-air pastime, and when Holmes, in one of his queer humors, would sit in an arm-chair with his hair-trigger and a hundred Boxer cartridges, and proceed to adorn the opposite wall with a patriotic V. R. done in bullet-pocks, I felt strongly that neither the atmosphere nor the appearance of our room was improved by it."

That's it for now,
