Description Painted this over Livestream in about 4 hours, you can view the full recording at my new Youtube channel . Thank you very much to all who stayed and watched! I have always loved all imagery of Sherlock Holmes playing the violin, I find it very striking and it's one of his most recognizable and interesting character traits. This piece is inspired by BBC's Sherlock (I cannot possibly recommend this show more!)

Time-lapsed process video can be watched here . Drawn and painted in Adobe Photoshop with a Wacom tablet.

EDIT 10/09/13: I have provided this high-res wallpaper as a COURTESY to fellow Sherlock fans, and I expect my work to be treated with respect. Time and time again I have seen art thieves download this painting, PHOTOSHOP OUT MY SIGNATURE, and re-upload it to their own websites as a "free wallpaper," or, even worse, print it as a poster or on a phone case to sell on eBay, Amazon, Etsy, StoreEnvy, etc. It's absolutely ridiculous and disappointing. I'm leaving the wallpaper up because I know most don't do that, but I'm going to say this once again since it's apparently not clear: DO NOT REMOVE MY SIGNATURE FROM THIS ARTWORK FOR ANY REASON . If you see this painting on any of the above sites, please do me a favor and report it. If you see this painting on any products or websites without credit to me, I ask you not to buy it, and JUST REPORT IT. Thank you.

Awesome! Is there a name for using this style of large vague brushes and not blending so much? I'd love to try it out but I'd like to find tutorials.

Custom Freaks is selling this print on FB without the signature, along with dozens of other images which I'm sure they don't have permission to use.

Hello Alicexz,

IΒ΄ve just found your art being sold on AliExpress, printed on handbags and backpacks hereΒ www.aliexpress.com/item/Tv-Sho…

I just thought WTAF?! Have they asked your permission?? I adore your art, but this is so NOT ok (if itΒ΄s not permitted, of course)

Congrats for BBC's support! I can't even imagine what that must feel like. I'd probably die haha.
Phenomenal work, the intricate little details. Pure eye candy, really. The colors flow together nicely, and Sherlock's expression is just too real.
Loving everything about this, amazing job!
