THERE’S NO BETTER WAY TO END A LONG DAY OF CRIMECON PROGRAMMING THAN WITH ART, WINE, AND LOTS OF LAUGHS.

 

IN THIS CRIMECON ORIGINAL, ’SKETCH & SIP’ BRINGS WORLD-RENOWNED COURTROOM SKETCH ARTIST BILL ROBLES TO NASHVILLE TO GUIDE ATTENDEES THROUGH THE SKETCHING PROCESS, BRINGING OUT THE INNER ARTIST IN ALL OF US.

 

EACH ATTENDEE WILL BE PROVIDED WITH ALL SUPPLIES REQUIRED TO FOLLOW BILL’S LEAD IN CREATING YOUR VERY OWN BLACK-AND-WHITE COURTROOM SKETCH MASTERPIECE.

Courtroom Illustrator Bill Robles

New York gallery owner Margo Feiden, who represents famous caricaturist Al Hirschfeld, said history and celebrity will draw collectors to the courtroom art, but ultimately she predicts artists will become collectible. Said Feiden: “People won’t say I have a drawing of the O.J. Simpson trial, they’ll say, I have a Bill Robles”.


For 53 years, Bill Robles has mastered the art of on-the-spot illustration. The 1970 Charles Manson trial launched a career as a Television News Courtroom Artist, and has resulted in a long succession of high-profile trials:


Patricia Hearst, Actor Lee Marvin's Palimony Trial, John DeLorean, “The Night Stalker” Richard Ramirez, Rodney King, O.J. Simpson, the Unabomber, Oklahoma City Bombers Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols, the Menendez Brothers, Robert Blake, Michael Jackson, Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Arizona shooter Jarad Lee Loughner, Aurora Theater shooter James Holmes, Dodger Stadium Beating Victim Bryan Stow Trial, Donald Sterling vs. Shelly Sterling LA Clippers Ownership Trial, Enrique Marquez ( purchased weapons for San Bernardino Terrorists ), Led Zeppelin Copyright Trial, Los Angeles Sheriff Lee Baca Trial, Robert Durst, Britney Spears, Elon Musk, & Movie Mogul Harvey Weinstein.

“I love courtroom illustrating…the immediacy…working feverishly… the adrenaline flows…and suddenly it is over, onto the satellite, and seen around the world”.
