The Coupleby ~mortmere

Fan Art / Digital Art / Painting & Airbrushing / Movies & TV

I had this idea a long time ago to paint John and Sherlock in the same style as David Hockney painted one famous couple [link] - well, it doesn't really resemble Hockney's style now, but this origin explains the unexpected location of their chairs and other things I've tweaked to make the setting more minimalistic.

(Now that it is finished, it somehow reminds me of an absolutely brilliant AU fanfic, "Performance in a Leading Role" by MadLori [link] in which Sherlock and John are Hollywood actors who end up playing a gay couple in a new Ang Lee movie. But maybe that's just because I know the couple in the original Hockney painting was from LA? Anyway, the fic is brilliant: go read it if you haven't yet done so - this recommendation comes from someone who usually shuns both AU fics and fics that are so long that it takes many, many evenings to read them.

This is lovely. And yeah, makes me think that maybe they're meeting with their now mutual agent to discuss how to handle upcoming interviews.

I really like this a lot. And when I clicked on the original I thought...that's Christopher Isherwood, has to be. So now two of my favorite things have collided and that's awesome. you've done a great tribute to the original piece as well
