there's a bluebird in my heart that wants to get out but I'm too tough for him, I say, stay in there, I'm not going to let anybody see you. there's a bluebird in my heart that wants to get out but I pour whiskey on him and inhale cigarette smoke and the whores and the bartenders and the grocery clerks never know that he's in there.
there's a bluebird in my heart that wants to get out but I'm too tough for him, I say, stay down, do you want to mess me up? you want to screw up the works? you want to blow my book sales in Europe? there's a bluebird in my heart that wants to get out but I'm too clever, I only let him out at night sometimes when everybody's asleep. I say, I know that you're there, so don't be sad. then I put him back, but he's singing a little in there, I haven't quite let him die and we sleep together like that with our secret pact and it's nice enough to make a man weep, but I don't weep, do you?
1) This was initially just going to be a random nude study, and then I had the brilliant (if I do say so myself) idea of turning it into a Sherlock sketch. So I did. Make what you will of it.
2) My new printer wouldn't scan properly - ended up with parts of Sherlock's skin tinged pink and moldy green. So I used photoshop to desaturate the image and used "multiply" to darken it slightly.
3) I accidentally misplaced Benedict's mole. My apologies.
I drew this last weekend when I was studying for my final exam. I had meant to go back and fix it this week but I've just not had time, what with the last minute packing and planning for my Europe trip, so I've decided to post this as it is.
This is another fic that was supposed to be rather epic in scale. It was supposed to be written for a zine, and I had the general premise plotted out and started on the story, but due to RL I had to drop it and I just never got back to it. So I'm posting the opening excerpt here, and hoping that it is good enough as a standalone...

With my attentions focused on uni and exams, I've been suffering a bit of a writer's block lately. Tonight I'm taking a break from my studies and looking over my WIP folder, and I've found a couple of fics that were intended to be much longer but are semi publishable in their current form.
This is one of them.

I am never again going to sign up for something when I know I have limited time to do it... it was purely an emotional response after hearing about Lis Sladen's passing. Grrrrr this was such a last minute rush job, and towards the end I just threw up my hands and gave up on making every icon perfect.
And being the lazy person I am, even though I have the DVDs I couldn't be bothered screencapping and just used internet sources. AND MY GOD it was so difficult to find good quality images to icon, especially from the classic era.
