Courtroom artist forced to apologize for sketch of Tom Brady that ‘will haunt your dreams’Social media was in an uproar thanks to a sketch from the New England quarterback’s hearing in federal court on Wednesday. Brady is appealing a four-game suspension for his role in the deflation of footballs used in the AFC championship game in January.In 2011, The New York Times noted that sketch artist Jane Rosenberg’s likeness of Robert De Niro during a court appearance in Manhattan was “remarkably accurate.” She has been a sketch artist for 35 years, depicting a litany of public figures including Woody Allen, Martha Stewart, Bill Cosby and John Gotti.In a telephone interview, Rosenberg said drawing celebrities is her most difficult task, as people already have an image of how the person is supposed to look. She was hired by several media clients to attend Brady’s hearing, and was “under a lot of pressure to work very quickly and do the best I can on the short deadline I’m on.”“I’m getting bad criticism that I made him look like Lurch,” she said, referring to the Addams Family character. “And obviously I apologize to Tom Brady for not making him as good-looking as he is.”In response, Twitter users deployed their best photo-editing skills.Sketch: Jane Rosenberg; Images: Hector Diaz/Twitter -- source link
