Notes: |
The four stamps depict key scenes from short stories written by Conan Doyle featuring Sherlock Holmes, the mercurial detective. The atmospheric freeze-frames are created using strategically placed shafts of light to pick out significant clues in the stories. The illustrator, Strautniekas was chosen for his use of light and colour, he created conceptual pencil sketches before working up his illustrations digitally. |
