Courtroom Artist

Janet Hamlin - Salim Hamdan (2008)This is a first. I'm not referring to that US military trial at Guantanamo Bay which today convicted Salim Hamdan - Osama Bin Laden's ex-driver - of supporting terrorism, but to this courtroom sketch of the prisoner in the dock. It's by Janet Hamlin, a freelance illustrator, and this is the first time I've seen the name published of one of those usually anonymous artists who sketch prisoners at trial. Click the title link to visit Janet's blog, view more of her illustrations and read the story behind this sketch.
