"He came back up with a bit of brown cloth on his pinkie finger. We all looked close at it, and noticed that it was nothing less that a tiny deerstalker..."

Jeremy Brett (1933-1995) was a marvellous and versatile actor with a distinguished forty-year career in film, television, radio, and stage. He is most internationally famed for his masterful and enriching portraiture of the world's greatest consulting detective, Sherlock Holmes. He has touched the hearts of millions, including my own. Mr. Brett is the "quintessential" Holmes! He is, and shall be, always dearly missed.

This is portrait is from my "Professionally Jeremy" Series, in which I compose an artwork of Mr. Brett about every year in dedication to him. A few years ago, I illustrated three sketches for Otaku Tess' beautifully written story, The Case of The Cheese Snatcher, where the human residents of 221B Baker Street discover evidence that there's a mouse in the lodgings! Hmmm...who could that be, I wonder?

(Please read her The Case of The Cheese Snatcher, illustrated by yours truly. For more "Brettish" information, please visit my tribute websites: A Dedication to Jeremy Brett, Internationally Brettish, The Brettian Exchange, and DeviantArt Jeremy Brett Club.)
