“Art in the blood is liable to take the strangest forms.”
(Sherlock Holmes, musing about his family in “The Greek Interpreter”)
Over the years, contests and celebrations have encouraged Mary Russell’s fans to contribute all manner of visual exuberance. Most of them can be found under the “Contests” tab on the blog; more fan art went into the Maryorama rail journey for Russell and Holmes, here. (And if you’re moved to create something, send it to us, and we’ll display it here: drawings, YouTube videos, tattoos, Russell & Holmes cosplay—we welcome it all. Just don’t forget the permission form.)
