Court room renderings appears to be a lost art

[underpants]

An artist's drawing shows Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich he stands in front of U.S. Magistrate Nan Nolan (L) at the Dirksen Federal building in Chicago, Illinois December 9, 2008.

1. That's hilarious!

I especially like the "judge" in the background.

It's like a parody version of a courtroom drawing.

2. I dunno

I think the artist has a good eye, but what do I know?
(answer: not much!)

3. Looks more like Jay Leno

Granted they have similar hair.... :)

4. There are a lot of courts closed to cameras throughout the country

and they don't pay very much, and sitting in a court drawing while waiting for something to hapen. They get who they can get, so there can be plenty of variation to the skill of court-room artists (same can be said for lawyers).

That said, that's a pretty awful drawing.

5. Why is Tattoo on trial?

I know Fantasy Island was mediocre, but give a working midget a break here!

6. It reminds me of Goofus in a Goofus and Gallant cartoon

7. Art is in the eye of the beholder.

Every time I've seen one of those drawings, I think "cave painting". Granted, there is perspective, but little else.

But then, that is just a personal opinion. Nothing more.

Peace,

8. I like it

The averted gazes, the suggestion of movement as if Blago's bangs are going to pull him forward onto his face.
