My favorite David Burke Holmemes in honor of his passing. Rest in peace to one of the best and hottest Watsons we’ve ever had.

Fun fact: the first meme in this post was actually the first Holmeme I ever made, and the inspiration for this whole series!

My little 3d diorama, based on a painting by Józef Męcina-Krzesz, "Chopin's Last Chords", which I think is one of the gentlest, most beautiful paintings. Done in Maya, ZBrush and Substance Painter and rendered in Blender

Józef Męcina-Krzesz's original painting:

For Trans Day of Visibility, I wanted to revisit my decade-old graphic essay about reading Holmes as trans. Originally written for the second issue of the much-missed Practical Handbook, it remains the most popular post on my blog and probably one of the pieces I am most proud of! I did not really want to simply update it, since it is an introduction of sorts to the subject – and I sincerely promise that within the next decade I will finish writing my actual essay – so I thought I’d instead reflect from a more personal angle. I love queer history, I love queer readings, I love fandom meta, I love Holmes scholarship, and most of all I love being trans. I’ve changed a lot as a person in the past ten years but my constant has always been the support of my friends, peers, and everyone who interacts with my art and ramblings! Would definitely recommend questioning your gender…and also making more characters trans and more trans characters.

Very apropos of the fabulous Chairs Against Milverton Day, a cartoon I did last year for The Watsonian!
