Do you like my pride jeans guys

My first try at drawing on textile! Saw lots of videos on youtube, and got inspired! The idea of making your own, individual piece of clothing, as well as the fun process were so worth it. Did this for fun in 3-4 nights and, i like how it turned out!

Of course the aim was to make the soviet johnlock from “The adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson”(1979), as explicit as possible. For that, i redrew some of the screenshots from the show itself, references are shown below. As far as i researched, textile paint from Decola seems to be the best one, in terms of colour, flexibility, and resilience.

>:)

P.S. For anyone who might be wondering, the black dog on the lower sketch appeared in one of the episodes as a Lestrade’s dog, and he ate the sleeping pills:( rest in peace Toby

Hey, I've been following your Soviet Holmes art for a few… months? I don't know. Anyway, just wanted to say that I absolutely love the way you do this. I love this show and your art is like a breath of fresh air about these old show. Thank you for lighting up this part of Tumblr with your art, this adaptation doesn't have that many followers and fans, but I'm absolutely happy we have you ❤️

And i’m afraid i didn’t answer for a few months as well - for that im sorry. but! Oh wow, i didn’t realise I’ve been sharing holmes art for so long, thats cool, and you’re cool for this interest methinks🫵.

Im boutta jump around my room, jolly manner, for many of you are sharing the same braincell with me. I’m 100% yes for bringing something new to old shows: new perspectives, theories, lgbt takes or whatnot (that it lacks tbh, especially soviet media). It so exciting!! i mean!! showing well known narratives and characters from other sides and bringing (hopefully warm) nostalgia to those who love them old movies as much as you do.

Not no mention that soviet Holmes movie is one of THE classics in ussr cinema, it is shown every new year on tv after all. And with all that, i’m furious that it doesn’t appear to have much fanart or fanfics (as a mainstream!!). And with this treatment, imagine all the “coded” russian literature and other shows, man they are so untouched. Looking at russian etc., artists meaningfully for not having a cult of soviet johnlock already bc IT’SRIGHT THERE PEOPLE, BREAK FREE FROM CENSORSHIP AT ONCE, BE FREE, BE PROUD, SHARE, EXPLORE, RECYCLE.

My point is, i really want soviet media and old movies in general to see the light of the sun again, be explored in such tasty, tasty ways. I want to savour them ravishing contexts. Let us fester on our nostalgia. I know, for now i share some pretty straightforward and rather shallow interpretations, for now its just “lol, gay dads, adorable” but theres so much more deeper things in my brain(it is there!! I promise!!!) id like to share sometime soon.

Iuhhhhhhh, sorry, back to the message im answering to! THANK YOU SO MUCH, FOR TEXTING THIS AND TRANSPORTING THESE KIND WORDS TO ME BRAIN, MEANS THE WORLD AND BOOSTS MY INSPIRATION A TON!!!! I actually wanted to have asks for so long, its great to finally communicate with fans of my fav stuff, bc comments dont seem to be in favour on this app.

Anyway, you made me too emotional and you know too much now, let me eat you at once, dear commenter

Vitaly Solomin

VITALY SOLOMIN AS TOMSKY IN MASLENNIKOV’S QUEEN OF SPADES

The beloved Russian actor Vitaly Solomin (1941-2002), brought his charm and acting experience to the role of Pavel Alexandrovich   Tomsky, the grandson of the old countess. Best known for his role as Dr.Watson in   Maslennikov’s phenomenally popular Sherlock Holmes series, Solomin breathes life into this small but important role, artfully telling the tale of “La Venus Moscovite” in Paris,  capturing the imagination of Germann and arousing his fateful avarice.

Vasily Livanov (rus. Sherlock Holmes) on the passing away of his friend and colleague Vitaly Solomin (rus. Dr. Watson)

It happens so that when someone passes away, we customarily treat his actions and related events as the thing of the past. But everything about my beloved closest friend and partner Vitaly Solomin has become a part of my way of life, my conscience, so for me it will become the thing of the past only when I pass away too.
