A Brit a Day [#1180]

I love this artist I just found on the Japanese artists' site pixiv, Shimizu.  I love everything about their style right down to the patina on the sketchbook.  You'll love it too, especially if you are a fan of Top Gear, Doctor Who, Sherlock...I saw at least one great sketch of Tom Hiddleston as well.  Check it out--Shimizu's work can be found here--

I'm not sure how far you can get without creating an account.  I did, and it was worth it.

These are the last of the files I have saved with Benedict as Sherlock.  After this....what?  We wait?

I love Martin Freeman, but all 'The Hobbit' in the world won't take the place of a fix from this man.

Dying for more 'Sherlock.'  Dy-y-i-i-ng.

Is it a screenshot from 'Sherlock's third season?  That's how it was labelled on Tumblr, but if so...from where?

I wondered for a bit if the reason why Ben, Moffat, and the show 'Sherlock' walked away empty handed from the Emmys last night was because they nominated the wrong episode.

One of these things is not like the others...

Benedict Cumberbatch pulls off the SH persona without any of the usual props/headgear.  But to be perfectly honest, so could Jeremy Brett [right center].  Although, I did so enjoy seeing him in Victorian menswear.

Alas, I would follow this edict if I could, every chance I got.  Art found online by my friend Jacqueline.

I'll just put this piece of beautiful cross-fandom art from Alicexz here to totally mess with your heads.

He may have taken a very close second to Tom Hiddleston's first in the BBC Anglo Fans Favorite, but I guarantee you, next year is Benedict Cumberbatch's year, if not at the BBC, then in the greater world.  It may not be Shakespeare, but one more season of 'Sherlock' will cement his place in history.

I love the wallpaper on the set of 221B Baker Street--it's a lot like this cushion, a bit busy but ultimately very supportive of the man who rests his head there.

I really loved this detecting-insurance-fraud-by-faking-ones-own-death scene from Sherlock with Benedict Cumberbatch's crocodile tears.  Note that the man himself has hit his mark.

I still have plenty of great pictures of Alex Turner to share, but there's a matter which must be addressed in his absence today. My daughter and her friends have become quite enamored of Robert Downey Jr's recent portrayal of Sherlock Holmes. I admit that I didn't see the first film, but I've seen its trailer and the trailer for the sequel, and it seems to me that his Holmes is all obvious sexiness and slightly broad humor. Fine, but whatever happened to Victorian Repression? Isn't that what made Jeremy Brett's Holmes so oozy with sensuality, irony and intellect? The fact that it all had to be so strictly contained? I shake my head at the loss of subtlety. I'm going to have to sit those girls down in front of the television and show them how a real man plays Sherlock Holmes.
