I'm inside my apartment on the other side of the Atlantic and I too can smell it.
Sam Bankman-Fried must have tried this and succeeded.
Brad Pitt was his stand in, can't you tell?
I'm just going to go out on a limb and assume the sketch artist makes money on Patreon selling custom Edward Cullen "art" and just couldn't stop the habit.
Is this the guy who starred in The Bankman?
Sketch artist: "No can do, but if you slip me a Bennie, I can make it look like you have a chin"
He should have asked to sketch artist to make him look not guilty.
They are artists, not magicians.
Wow, I’m shocked! Well, maybe not that shocked.
The narcissism doesn't fall far from the tree
sketch artist: "I'm good, but not that good"
Ah, like father like son I see
It's even worse if you see him do it on camera. He did everything but wink and do an air kiss.
Finger guns?
That would at least have made me laugh. This made me want to retch.
...why are courtroom sketch artist still a thing?
Because it's usually not allowed to take pictures in court
That's not a real reason. Most courts are recorded, have stenographer and apparently sketch artists. There's absolutely no reason for court sketch artists to exist in modern society. It's just silly and wreaks of some conservative tradition.
I don't think providing steady employment to a local artist is the worst thing taxes support.
If we're gonna be handing out money for totally worthless tasks, oh boy imma be rich
Be real, bro, you already do that.
....are you illiterate? That's exactly what I said.
I called your current job useless, actually, but don't worry your pretty little head about the details.
Oh, you are illiterate. Ok then.
Had to think a bit for that one, huh?
Understandable for your situation.
Those recordings are not available to the public though, right? Isn’t that the difference? Or am I just mislead here?
I see why the tradition of it feels conservative. But I dunno. I think it’s cool. Seems like good culture.
Because AI aren't allowed in court, yet...
"Why does the defendant have a different number of fingers in every scene?"
-AI flips you off with 13 middle fingers on each hand
Artist is better for privacy.
Only proportionally to how much they suck at their craft
More like for not accidentally including jury members in the shot
Take comfort knowing the sketch artist made him look like Jack Smith’s brother.
They’re sketch artists not magicians
They are an artist Jr not a miracle worker.
They captured his stank cloud well
I just threw up a little in my mouth.
Well if the artist honored that request they wouldn't have gotten a likeness
Nailed it
He looks like the portrait of Dorian Grey
I'd make a joke about Jr saying, "Before, right? Right?!??" but he wouldn't get the reference.
