I don't know if I've been watching too much Better Call Saul or not, but his resemblance to Michael McKean is becoming more apparent.

2008:
Heather Mills doused Paul McCartney’s lawyer, Fiona Shackleton — or so it would seem. The press, including the artist, was barred and could not see it.

PS Nice comparison of the 3 Whitey Bulger sketches.

Gotta say my favorite's the last (again, by Christine Cornell)-- it's not just the psychedelic colors, but those expressive faces! Conveying character & drama.

I just remembered I actually emailed the sketch artist of that Robin Thicke one upthread to ask how much, and I guess it was some high-three-figure number and I never pulled the trigger. One day it will grace my office.

xps
not many courtroom artists are Toulouse Lautrec, but that's just taking the piss!

Andrew and I have both mentioned upthread (about ten years ago) our local friend, John, who works freelance as a courtroom sketch artist. Yesterday, John worked a case involving *takes a deep breath* an Arizona attorney, who's also the elected Maricopa County assessor, accused of bringing pregnant women from the Marshall Islands to Arkansas and forced/paid them to give up their babies for adoption.

Some of his sketches are featured here. And from John's Instagram account (paintings for sale!), he describes what it's like to keep one toe dipped in this unique profession:

...I showed up early and Judge Wiederman allowed me in the empty courtroom to get a head-start on the backgrounds. It was a gamble that the hearing would last long enough to draw. A group of about six people were brought in ahead of the man we were there for, so I started sketching a defendant that vaguely resembled him out of an abundance of caution.

I ended up with two that were useable, a prosecutor, that defendant I mentioned and that unused start of the background. The most detailed one was the first one I started. In all I was in the court about 5 hours.
