I am an ESL (English as a second language) teacher and academic proofreader and editor who loves to design and build custom LEGO® models. I am also the creator of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes Re-Imagined book series by MX Publishing.

In this book series, the short stories comprising The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes have been amusingly illustrated using only LEGO® brand minifigures and bricks. The illustrations recreate, through custom designed LEGO models, the composition of the black and white drawings by Sidney Paget that accompanied the original publication of these adventures appearing in The Strand Magazine from July 1891 to June 1892. Paget’s iconic illustrations are largely responsible for the popular image of Sherlock Holmes, i

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.(less)
