Is it just my auditory processing being wonky again, or did John really suggest that Sherlock's got Asperger's? I've been thinking for awhile that his style of taking in all the details at once instead of 'zooming out' to see the big picture is very similar to the way autistics handle sensory input. The difference is that he's actually got the brainpower/speed to handle it, with room to spare for deductive reasoning in realtime, instead of getting overloaded. His method of recalling information, complete with images and sound clips as shown in tonight's episode likewise seemed quite familiar, though of course I've never had quite that much control over it.

status and sketchfest
Sunday, January 8th, 2012 10:03 pmI will be boarding a plane later tonight to go visit my family, and will be returning on Jan 18. As usual, I will be bringing my laptop, but I may be a bit slower to respond to messages due to the presence of live people.
The 48-hour SketchFest was quite a success! I did 12 paintings for it — enough to make up for missing last month. Coat of Arms has already sold, so I'll be cleaning it up to print, and copies of all the others are available through the SketchFest site.
( lots of pictures under cut )
In case you missed it, I did a guest post at![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
poetree On Illustrating Poetry on Friday last week, with some commentary on each of the poem-based Story Sketches I've done so far. Comments on this post will be counted toward this week's icon draw! (Which I'm postponing for a couple of days since I didn't give you any art to comment on until now. :P)
