Brad Pitt was his stand in, can't you tell?

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago

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"

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He should have asked to sketch artist to make him look not guilty.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago

They are artists, not magicians.

[–] TheRealLinga 29 points 1 year ago

It's early and I thought this was The Onion for a good 2 minutes. Wow.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 year ago

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"

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

Ah, like father like son I see

...why are courtroom sketch artist still a thing?

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Because it's usually not allowed to take pictures in court

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (6 children)

I don't think providing steady employment to a local artist is the worst thing taxes support.

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.

[–] RidgeDweller 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But why? Seems arbitrary and antiquated

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Think it's to protect the identities of people

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's working well, I definitely do not know it's trump Jr there.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That's not who it's supposed to be protecting lol

Because AI aren't allowed in court, yet...

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

"Why does the defendant have a different number of fingers in every scene?"

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

-AI flips you off with 13 middle fingers on each hand

Artist is better for privacy.

It's even worse if you see him do it on camera. He did everything but wink and do an air kiss.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

That would at least have made me laugh. This made me want to retch.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

Classy guy like that? No way.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

They captured his stank cloud well

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

They are an artist Jr not a miracle worker.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

They’re sketch artists not magicians

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Take comfort knowing the sketch artist made him look like Jack Smith’s brother.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

I just threw up a little in my mouth.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Well if the artist honored that request they wouldn't have gotten a likeness

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago
[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He looks like the portrait of Dorian Grey

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I'd make a joke about Jr saying, "Before, right? Right?!??" but he wouldn't get the reference.
