Sherlock Holmes Adaptations

Sherlock Holmes Adaptations

Been a Sherlock Holmes master fan since I was 9 so have a list of Sherlock Holmes adaptations. The list will be split into adaptations and then more...inspired by Holmes. This list is by no means exhaustive, just ones I personally know/like. If you want an exhustive list of adaptations look here(source @sholmeses1881 on Youtube). (my aim had been to link to where you can watch these but apparently tumblr posts with 🏴‍☠️links get taken down.)

By popular demand, I've restocked all 16 of my The West Wing retro episode prints in my shop. Find them in 12" x 16" and 18" x 24" and thanks so much for all the kind works about the artwork in my previous post.

If you're reading this...

go write three sentences on your current writing project.

Sherlock Holmes is truly the character of all time: he's victorian, he's a drug addict, an amateur boxer, he's autistic, he's in a codependent relationship with his best friend (that he is also in love with), he loves to dress up, he refuses to learn that the earth revolves around the sun, he has a keen sense of justice that lives outside of the law, he faked his own death, he's a reformed misogynist, he will throw himself to the ground to look at a clue, he does chemistry in his living room, he's messy, he plays the violin. No wonder everyone in the world is obsessed with him.

Okay okay okay so the big thing that puts me off the Sherlock and co patreon is that the episodes come out all at once and like??? What do I listen to in between the episodes??? Can I cope with weeks with no new eps??? (patreons pls advise)

Sherlock & Co. fan art because we need more.

Please darling please listen to this podcast <3
