More Amateur Court Sketchery

filed under: Procrastinet Guests

I'm thrilled that Friend O'Procrastinet "E-Z" Edith Freni (before you get any ideas, it's a BOXING name, guys...) has been inspired to submit her own stab at court sketch artistry. It's better than mine, and WAY better than the "official" one I found on CNN.

If you feel like getting down on this action, please feel free to submit further Peterson renderings (or Jackson, or OJ Simpson, or even random portraiture - whatever, we're e-z!) via email.

In the meantime, you can check out the website of original offender Vicki Behringer, whose "reputation as a top courtroom artist is well deserved" - and if her own website says it, it has to be true! Despite, you know, the minor detail that her paintings don't look a damn thing like the people involved.

She does have some paintings of dogs in her "Fine Art" section which, while not really to my tastes, are pretty good. Anyway, I have trouble making fun of someone who openly declares "There is magic everywhere and it is my intention to share some of that colorful enchantment with others."
