#bic2018

Third and favorite piece for the Book Illustration Competition hosted by The Folio Society and House of Illustration, illustrating "The Selected Adventures and Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes." ---- From "The Musgrave Ritual:" "Matters were in this state, when a new development quite drew our attention away from the original mystery."

And this is... the Friend. Wantson spends his time in a perpetual state of amazement, disbelief or awe, sometimes all at once. Another illustrstion from The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (Arthur Conan Doyles), done for The Folio Society BIC2018 contest. . . . #illustration #sherlockholmes #foliosociety #bic2018 #digitalartwork #digitalart #watson #opiumden #victoriantimes #londonvictorian

So this was one of the drawings I made for Book Illustration Competition organized by Folio Society! Unfortunately my entry didn't get into the finals but I still like what I did  Also the longlisted entries are simply stunning, you can vote for your favs on Folio's website!! (competitions.houseofillustrati… ) The winner will be announced on 20th of February. I'm in love with some of the entries, it's no shame to loose against such great artists   The task was to illustrate 3 of Sherlock Holmes stories they provided. This one was an illustration to 'A Scandal in Bohemia'!

No 3... the Larch (I've been watching too much Monty Python). Ok, it's an oak, and a small Sherlock furiously calculating. The last illustration from The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (Arthur Conan Doyles), done for The Folio Society BIC2018 contest. . . . #illustration #sherlockholmes #foliosociety #bic2018 #digitalartwork #digitalart #victoriantimes #londonvictorian #oak #manison #musegraveritual

Please help me win The People’s Award by voting for my work (nr 18) on this link: http://competitions.houseofillustration.org.uk/book-illustration-competition-2018/peoples-choice-award/ Thanks!
