I had to show some appreciation for this one today



Michael Cohen testifying.
Trump's lawyer with the facepalm.
Trump sleeping.
Someone leaning forward to see if Trump is asleep or paying attention.
And "GET IT DONE" hanging over his head like the sword of Damocles.

I don't know which artist did this sketch - would love to give proper credit.

1. One of the defense attorneys is facepalming while Cohen testifies?

Geesh.

Doesn't seem like good optics in front of the jury.

5. That would be 'Blanche'

HE would rather be in a pit of rattle snakes right now

[ffr]

2. Can't unmake or unsee a picture as vivid in detail as this. lol

4. I love them. They are so colorful.

Pinks, purples, blues... they really use all the colorful pastels in their box.

11. Decades ago in the 80's I was asked

to sit in for the court sketch artist for a Minneapolis station. All the drawings had been basically black and white up to that time.
Because sketch artists often get stuck way in the back of the room trying to capture detail is tough. I ended up using color, which the station staff commented upon actually favorably, because of lack of getting details I wanted. Think that is a factor.

8. Picture worth a thousand words.

9. Much better than last week

I thought the previous ones were so distorted even Stormy looked so haggard and weird and not at all like herself.
These are 100% better.

10. Really tells a little story all on its own

Someday, the Trump Presidential Library should host an exhibit of all these marvelous sketches

12. LOL! Awesome!

13. Who's the man in front with the glasses and sitting behind a laptop?

14. Cohen

today's witness.

18. Aren't these drawings supposed to look even a little like the subject they're portraying?!

And when do witnesses sit with their backs to the room?

15. It looks like Christine Cornell's style.

I don't know for sure that it's her work.

17. I think you are correct

I really liked her sketch of Stormy Daniels earlier.

Someone posted earlier that they hadn't liked the sketches of her - and looking at most of them, I would have to agree. But I really like Christine Cornell's sketch. Something really interesting and powerful about it.



I find the whole concept of the courtroom sketch artist fascinating.

16. 1,000 words indeed!
