I really like the cheesy element of old-school courtroom sketches. But they seem be getting replaced by whatever this is. (hexbear.net)

Edit

The artist couldn't have used any form of a computer or cell phone in the courtroom. To be sure - I googled NYC courtrooms.

No use of laptop computers or personal stereos [...] All beepers and cell phones must be turned off.

I assume the artist must have done quickie pencil (or whatever) sketch in the courtroom, left court, and used an app.

They should open it up to different artists. Ben Garrison, Scott Adams, Kelly, etc

Trump shirt off looking like a 50 something man with perfect hair and a perfect tan who lifts four hours everyday [muscles gleaming and oiled]. Prosecutor [puny and stupid], Defense attorney (man) [Strong and powerful], defense attorney (woman) [sexy and glamorous] - Created and labelled by Ben Garrison

Dr. Katz?

[-] EmmaGoldman@hexbear.net 18 points 5 months ago

Meh, this is just one mediocre artist. The art form isn't dying, there are plenty of skilled artists putting out good courtroom sketches.

[-] AOCapitulator@hexbear.net 2 points 5 months ago

but are these good sketches because they look nice? Or because they accurately convey the moment, the emotions, the plot

[-] kleeon@hexbear.net 17 points 5 months ago

oh come on they didn't even try

what the fuck is the logic of no photos again?

Any fucking reason whatsoever? At all????

The Lindbergh baby getting kidnapped ruined things for all of us angery

About 700 members of the media, including 120 cameramen, attended the trial, in which Bruno Hauptmann was convicted. Messenger boys ran about, and unruly photographers climbed on witness tables to get shots, blinding witnesses with their flash bulbs. After Bruno Hauptmann was convicted, he appealed to the New Jersey Court of Appeals claiming that the presence of courtroom cameras and media activity in the courtroom, among other claims, denied him a fair trial.

The appeals court rejected Hauptmann’s claim in State v. Hauptmann. However, concern about the media behavior during the trial caused the American Bar Association in 1937 to amend Canon 35 of its Canons of Judicial Ethics to forbid photographic, television and other broadcast coverage of trials.

Instead of making a basic ass rule like "no climbing on top of tables to do flash photography", we HAVE to ban ALL PHOTOGRAPHY FOR ETERNITY!??

CAN'T EVEN MANDATE A FUCKING COURT APPOINTED PHOTOGRAPHER FOR FUCKS SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE?????????????????????

[-] abc@hexbear.net 7 points 5 months ago

To be fair, in 1937 safety film was still fairly new (like 30 years old) and the only alternative was nitrocellulose whereas courtroom sketches were being done in the US as far back as John Brown's era and were definitively not 'distracting to a fair trial', so it isn't unreasonable to say "don't fix what's not broken" and just ban cameras outright at the time lol. Especially given even with safety film, flash photography was blinding and obnoxious (loud shutters, etc) even just assuming a single photographer.

Thats fair and all

I'm Just really fuckin mad because its been 90 (300) years of no one changing any of the dumb shit stuff in this damn country

Even small obvious things, fucks sake

[-] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 3 points 5 months ago

You gave me a posting idea - https://hexbear.net/post/2530013

I'll probably google what the fuck is the logic of no photos again? and put the results in a comment but don't quote me.

[-] AOCapitulator@hexbear.net 2 points 5 months ago

I very helpfully did not contribute!

You also can't bring in vapes. You need to hide one vape in your bag or shoe, somewhere that they'll find so find it but the think you tried. Then you hide one in a really hidden place and use that one.

This looks like that one Radiohead music video with the guy who drowns and gets his nuts chopped off and the mermaids make him a baby.

[-] Des@hexbear.net 9 points 5 months ago

whatever the fuck this artist did makes everyone look like sweat stained political cartoons

or maybe it's blood idk

[-] cannibalbanquet@hexbear.net 8 points 5 months ago

It looks like they're incorporating the lazy corporate Memphis style that every corporate website has been using for the past 10 years

The hand in the lower right frame looks like an opossum reaching out for something.

John Carpenter - the master of horror - is back with The Thing 2: Trump's NYC trial (2025)

[-] Ram_The_Manparts@hexbear.net 7 points 5 months ago

That's not Michael Cohen, that's obviously Beto O'Rourke

[-] Thordros@hexbear.net 6 points 5 months ago

WRONG. If he were Beto O'Rourke he would be standing on the table.

shit artist != AI

brush texture is too consistent for it. Not enough blending and no bleeding between the colors. Just feels like someone popped open photoshop and scribbled, really

[-] RamrodBaguette@hexbear.net 5 points 5 months ago

ONE seems to have a side-gig.

This is so bad I didn't even recognise the top right one as being Trump
