I've been busy this week working as the courtroom artist for our local TV station. A former sheriff is on trial for embezzlement, mail fraud, and skimming money from illegal video poker machines. I've worked with this station as a courtroom artist before, but this is a pretty big case and will keep me busy for quite a while. This kind of gig is lots of fun: you have to work fast in situations where you've got a lousy view, normally of just the backs of their heads, and there's the time pressure of having it done for the next broadcast that's coming up at 5 o'clock no matter what. I'm working with a mechanical pencil on hot-pressed watercolor paper in the courtroom, then lay on washes of color when I get back to the news truck. I just posted two of the drawings and will probably post a few more if anybody's interested.
