I smell insecurity...
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.
Holy shit the pic with Caroline Ellison is amazing lmao
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.
It's early and I thought this was The Onion for a good 2 minutes. Wow.
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
...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.
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.
But why? Seems arbitrary and antiquated
Think it's to protect the identities of people
It's working well, I definitely do not know it's trump Jr there.
That's not who it's supposed to be protecting lol
Then who’s it supposed to protect?
Witnesses, the jury, people like that
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
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.
Classy guy like that? No way.
They captured his stank cloud well
They’re sketch artists not magicians
They are an artist Jr not a miracle worker.
Take comfort knowing the sketch artist made him look like Jack Smith’s brother.
I just threw up a little in my mouth.
Well if the artist honored that request they wouldn't have gotten a likeness
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.
Nailed it
