The artist certainly likes to draw profiles. There is a certain Picasso-esque quality about them, though.
That’s just sad.
I’d do worse, but then again, I’m a sales clerk.
Maybe he’s of Easter Islander descent; I’m detecting a touch of moai in those faces.
I dunno.
He captured that sleazy preacher/used car salesman/politician hair look perfectly.
Surely he’s just publicising the right to bear small arms.
And why, in the first sketch, does that one dude in the jury have his back to the court? Has he been bought or intimidated by the Blogo’s thugs to not pay attention and let Blogo off?
And why, in the third sketch, is that guy running a marathon through the courtroom? Don’t they have security guards to keep the marathoners out on the streets during the run?
Me too. He did nail the crook’s hair, but the ex-governor’s brother appears to be half-Japanese and half-PBS logo. Here’s what he looks like in real life. Oh, and I just saw the third sketch. Blago’s lawyer is doing the robot! AWESOME!
Maybe the artist is hoping that, by copying the look of Egyptian art, his or her paintings will last for thousands of years.
I propose they mummify the artist.
That looks like a Donald Trump caricature from MAD that he traced over and recolored with black hair. :rolleyes:
It’d explain why it’s always from the same angle, and looks so much better than the crap in the rest of his drawings.
It’s Blagojevich. Even photo-realistic renderings are going to look like a ridiculous cartoon with that guy.
I had a feeling those were the exact sketches you were going to link to. I saw some of these in the paper the other day and thought exactly the same as the title of your OP.
Slide number three looks the attorney is ice skating through the courtroom. I almost want one of the originals now.
Simple explanation. 6th graders from Abraham Lincoln Elementary School, attending the trial on a field trip… sketch artist was running late (or maybe had a couple of drinks at lunch)… do I have to draw you a picture?
Every artist who has to make a living doing something else is crying right now!! 
Damn. They remind me of Ethiopian illustrations for some reason - kind of ritualistic and loaded with meaning for believers. Only without the enormous eyes and surrealistic index fingers and with weird hair. Really weird hair.
That was probably the newspaper’s primary concern regarding the artist’s skill: can he get that hair right? And he/she sure can!
I blame the cop that ran over people in the Hockey cup parade…
Maybe he’s doing his sketches from an odd position, in a cupboard or under a bench, so that his subjects don’t know that he is there, thus enabling him to capture them in lifelike poses.
As if Obama doesn’t have enough to do, he’s on the jury.
Isn’t that a conflict of interest, or something?
