A highlight of #221Bcon was chatting with Brian of #BelangerBooks about everything from love of the classic #SidneyPaget drawings to the "Girl Genius" art of #PhilFoglio and love that Belanger's approach to new #SherlockHolmes books is to treat the original stories with respect.
Two photos: top is an illustration of Sherlock Holmes by Sidney Paget, bottom is Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes.
Did Jeremy Brett walk out of a Sidney Paget drawing? It certainly seems that way to me. #sherlockholmes #jeremybrett #sidneypaget 💙📚 #booksky
