I am currently designing, building, and photographing the LEGO models for the remaining short stories that comprise The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes.

I have been an avid fan of Sherlock Holmes for the last 20 years, since reading for the first time the stories about the celebrated detective written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. For me, an integral part of these adventures are the black-and-white drawings by Sidney Paget that accompanied their original publication in The Strand Magazine. Paget’s iconic illustrations are largely responsible for the popular image of Sherlock Holmes, including his deerstalker cap and Inverness cape, details never mentioned in the writings of Conan Doyle. Given the hours of enjoyment I have derived from these illustrated tales, I wanted to contribute, in some small way, to the enduring legacy of the great detective. Thus, I decided to combine two of my interests, namely Sherlock Holmes fiction and building custom designed Lego models. This book series, which reproduces Paget’s illustrations rendered in Lego, is the result.
