Good morning

We are pleased to present the company's second release, this time included in our line of fiction characters:

ShERLOCK HOLMES & DR WATSON

Sherlock Holmes personifies the archetypal detective. An eccentric investigator who masterly uses his deduction ability to solve even the most challenging cases. Among his talents we can include being an apt shooter and fencer, to master the martial arts and disguises, being an expert in chemical substances and an accomplished violinist. Besides all that, when he is accompanied by Dr. Watson, his friend, there is no mystery that can escape their insight.

The character created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle first appeared in 1887 and soon became a huge success. His universal popularity caused that lot of details about him became true icons in popular culture and classic Victorian aesthetical elements. Curiously enough, some of these elements were not created by the author himself, but by Sidney Paget, the artist who illustrated Holmes' stories for The Strand magazine. This artist had a lot to do in the image of the character, as he included the iconic deerstalker cap and the Inverness cape. He even got inspired by his brother Walter for the likeness of Holmes.

In our version, we got inspired for the likeness of the famous detective in these original illustrations, trying to get a more literary than cinematographic look. For the portrait of Dr. Watson, we decided to inspire ourselves in Arthur Conan Doyle to pay a small homage to the author, whose alter ego was Watson himself, as he is the narrator of their adventures.

Outstanding. I've always thought that a series of classic fictional detective busts would be great.....Maigret, Poirot, Marlowe, Chan etc.....
Don't know if you plan to extend the detective theme but these are great additions to any bust painters collection.
Cheers

I never tire of seeing new busts especially really nice ones like these two.
Both are great pieces.....and beautifully painted also.
Well done indeed.
 
Really like these, excellent sculpt and castings, and very in-keeping with the style of the Paget illustrations. Well done. I will have to buy them. Very in-depth SBS on the website as well.

Totally agree!
 
Congratulations on all of the busts. You have achieved a Grand Slam of high quality casts, superb sculpts, magnificent painting, and fascinating subjects. It's a delight even just to look and admire these let alone the pleasure of assembling and painting them. I'm really looking forward to your website with the promise of the step-by-step guides. Bravo on a job very well done!!!
