A Drawing from Phil Cornell (JHWS “Parkes”)
Happy 164th Birthday, Sherlock Holmes
Easter Greetings from Australia
“Chips” writes: I am taking the last of the open days for a while.
I wanted to post a card I have received for Easter. The card was hand drawn by an artist friend of mine in Australia. He has an incredible talent for drawing any thing to do with Sherlock Holmes, Dr. Watson, and everything in between. Phil Cornell is his name. You have probably seen his work in various publication and books for years. He is an active member of the Australian Sherlockian group called The Sydney passengers. I am a proud out of country member of the group. Here is a sample of his work. I hope you enjoy as much as I do.
Happy Christmas!
Phil Cornell, JHWS “Parkes”, sends a gift to all of us with his 2016 Christmas cartoon. Thanks, Parkes, and happy Christmas!
