Stamp: I Love Sherlock Holmesby *tranimation-art

"My name is Sherlock Holmes; it is my business to know what other people don't know..."

I am officially addicted to stamps! There wasn't an attractive stamp dedicated to Sherlock Holmes, so I made one! This little thing took seven hours to make, but I really love how it turned out.

Created by Scottish-born author and physician Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Sherlock Holmes was (and still is) the "World's Greatest Detective," famous for his intellectual prowess, and is renowned for his skilful use of deductive reasoning and astute observation to solve difficult cases, published in four novels and fifty-six short stories. The drawing of Holmes on the stamp was done by Sidney Paget, the original illustrator of the stories when they were first published in The Strand magazine. Originally, Doyle wanted Walter Paget to illustrate the stories, but the letter was accidentally sent to his younger brother, Sidney. Nevertheless, Sidney would use the aquiline-featured Walter as the model for Holmes. This famous portrait never appeared with any of the stories, but was, in fact, rescued from the garbage bin by Paget's daughter. The signature was done by Basil Rathbone's hand and it is considered the "official" Sherlock Holmes signature to most Sherlockians. Come voice your love for the Master!

Though most of the adaptions of Sherlock Holmes I really love (coughBBCSherlockcough) Nothing beats the original. <3

I love the BBC Sherlock but also the original stories. But most people go like "Classical books are boring! blah, blah, blah..." anyway... But mostly the older things are really good, it's quiet hard to find anything worthwhile now days because everything is commercial and no one really puts real passion into their work anymore (there are exceptions of course) but real quality works are very hard to find... Anyway really great stamp! Using

I hate it when people are like. The reason why the Sherlock Holmes has endured for all these centuries is because the stories are still excellent, they still touch people, they are still affect, they still entertain. It doesn't matter how old they are.
