Moin!

Nachdem ich gestern also den #SherlockHolmesDay (und damit den Geburtstag von Sir Arthur Conan Doyle) verpasst habe, den #LübeckerFrieden und davor den #Weltbienentag, ich hier im temporären Chaos stecke und einen veritablen Hass auf Kunsthistorikerinnen entwickle, möchte ich...

It’s #sherlockholmesday so I sketched some #caricature of #sherlockholmes actors including #benedictcumberbatch #robertdowneyjr #jeremybrett and #henrycavill

The silhouette of Sherlock Holmes is accented with text in a white font: "Sherlock Holmes Day:" is underlined with an orange swoosh, followed by "11 Mysterious Fiction Reads with a Gothic Twist."

Four books are pictured against a black-flecked greyish white background: August Derleth's The Further Adventures of Solar Pons, Caleb Carr's The Italian Secretary, Theodora Goss's The Strange Case of the Alchemist's Daughter, and Nancy Springer's Enola Holmes series.

Four books are pictured against a black-flecked greyish white background: The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco, The Beekeeper's Apprentice by Laurie R. King, Mycroft Holmes by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Anna Waterhouse, and The Cthulhu Casebooks series by James Lovegrove.

Three books are pictured against a black-flecked greyish white background: Lyndsay Faye's Dust and Shadow, Anthony Horowitz's Moriarty, and Alan Moore's The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

Solve a case, chase a myth, or battle cosmic horrors. #SherlockHolmesDay calls for mysteries with a twist!

It's #SherlockHolmesDay, and I feel its only right to remind everyone that literature's greatest detective found himself in a plot involving the Lament Configuration, that damned puzzle box from Hellraiser.

A crossover I never thought I'd see.

The irony of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's birthday being called #SherlockHolmesDay after the character he grew tired of and wanted to kill off but couldn't because of fans and that now lives on beyond him makes me think I should be extra careful what I write. #WritersProblems

Happy #SherlockHolmesDay everyone! Sharing a few memories of us at 221B Baker Street, at the Sherlock Holmes Pub, at the Sherlock Holmes Statue, and with the cast of #YoungSherlockHolmes! The game is afoot! #SherlockHolmes 🔎

Alas! I already feel it closing in upon me. My life is spent in one long effort to escape from the commonplaces of existence.

Happy #SherlockHolmesDay

Side profile shadow of Sherlock Holmes head with a pipe. Quote inside the head reads I’m not anti-social I’m anti-idiot. I don’t like crowds, makes for too much stupid in the room.
