She’s back! Brady sketch artist hopes to redeem herself
On Aug. 11, Jane Rosenberg was just a federal court sketch artist.
Three weeks and one admittedly awful pastel depiction of Tom Brady’s chiseled visage later, she still is that – albeit one who has faced a firestorm of criticism for the crime of not making the NFL’s prettiest quarterback pretty enough.
With Brady due back in Judge Richard Berman’s courtroom again tomorrow morning, Rosenberg will get a chance to redeem herself.
After the backlash her first sketch generated, she’s not exactly relishing it.
“I just don’t think I can satisfy everyone,’’ Rosenberg told the Boston Herald. “Will I try? Yeah, I’ll try to make him look handsomer.’’
Over her 35-year career Rosenberg has sketched such court-summoned celebrities as Woody Allen, Martha Stewart, Bill Cosby and John Gotti, but never before earned such notoriety.
Despite having been one of its secondary figures for less than a month, Rosenberg sounds as though’s she’s as tired of the Deflategate saga as the rest of us.
“I’m concerned about facing another week of all this ridicule,’’ she said. “I think it’s going to be hard for me. I’m terrified about being under the microscope. I hate that. I’m not used to that.’’
