Is this ILX's own N/A?

Why is Lisa Kudrow pouring water on a priest? Is that Paul MacCartney next to her?

Next to the priest, I mean.

There's a link to the explanation 6 posts later: she's his lawyer and Lisa Kudrow is his ex-wife.

Ah, okay. Is the "priest" outfit some sort of traditional British barrister dress?

I don't think it is, but it is quite strange: http://img.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2008/03_03/McCartney1703_468x849.jpg

(note the fresh marihuana plant he's always carrying :-) )

hey, pleasant plains. do you know john kushmaul (sp?)? he was a courtroom sketch artist for a time here for the local tv station he used to work for. forget which one.

How can one get a job doing courtroom sketches? I wld be very good at it.

I know John well. He was a sketch artist for the Susan McDougal trial. I tried to find one of his, but none of them are online. He was on CNN and everything! There was another trial he sketched for, though I can't remember what it would have been. Something federal here in town.

Abbot, our friend just grabbed a seat in the gallery, drew his sketch and sold it to the networks. He had to show up pretty early, and I don't know what kind of arrangements he went through to get all of his art stuff in there.

Huh! Maybe I could just do it for fun.

that 1 woman's suit jacket is kinda nuts

I'm pretty sure that was one of the victims who spoke -- she was all "EXCUSE me Judge Chin, I WAS NEXT. It's MY TURN TO SPEAK."

i didn't know he did it freelance! cool.

You're way too good for this, Abbott. But maybe it could be a way to get noticed?

It's one arena where I wldn't have to feel I was competing with giants whose quality I cld never achieve.

I also only just learned that these people don't actually work for the court. Outside the court today there was a sketch on a stand right in front of the door and a camera crew all around it -- I guess they didn't want to wait until they got the drawing back to the studio or something. It was very surreal looking though.

Does anyone understand the perspective in this one? Is the bald officer sitting to the right of the Dutch terrorist or behind him?

Could be one for Up-the-arse corner

If you imagine the blue bit to be the officer's jeans, rather than the terrorist's chair.

I think I'll start bringing Prismacolors to work and doing these as practice.

Wait, why does the witness get to look at a computer screen?

I think that's one of the judges (black toga, just like the other one)

Dutch judges look like this:

Isn't there a person in court who writes down everything that's being said? Maybe that's him.

The STENOGRAPHER, a damn fine job.

Lawyers wear those togas too (same accused, same sketcher)

Is this some kind of niche deviantART fantasy or is Ghislaine Maxwell really obsessively eyefucking a court sketch artist? pic.twitter.com/2GfwWHOW4q

Donald Trump during his arraignment. Courtroom sketch by 🎨 Jane Rosenberg pic.twitter.com/DdfXkHhnUA

— Reuters Pictures (@reuterspictures) April 4, 2023

lol he's like a jaundiced Grinch.

aren't there actual photographs of this thing? do they still do the courtroom sketch for fun anyway?

Hey I'm having fun

Pretty sure cameras, still or motion, are still not allowed in most courtrooms. Our local courthouse requires you to put your cell phone in a locker.

Not allowed in federal courtrooms either, so it'll be all sketches if Trump ever gets that call.

They allowed a couple photographers in before the hearing began, but then booted them... so there are some real photos, but not of the arraignment itself

if you were a courtroom sketch artist who couldn't be bothered schlepping all the way to the courthouse, it must have been tempting to just stat at home, wait for the pre-arraignment photographs to appear on twitter and then just base your sketch on them. It's not like anyone's appearance is going to have changed too dramatically in the interim.

Just wait for the AI sketchers

jaymc already on it.

non-AI is clearly superior

what if you specifically ask the AI to make a courtroom sketch of Trump where he looks like the Grinch, though

it would produce something amusing, but far too literal for that prompt
