TOMLINSON
The late Richard Tomlinson’s award
winning work has been exhibited at The Museum of Television and Radio, The
Society of Illustrators, The Art Directors Club, the American Institute of
Graphic Arts, Syracuse University, and at Rutgers University Law Library where
it is on loan for permanent exhibition. Tomlinson’s extensive trial credits
include the Black Panther 21, David ‘Son of Sam’ Berkowitz, and the trials of
Robert Chambers, Abscam, Jack Henry Abbott, Rev. Sun Myung Moon, Jean Harris,
Bernhard Goetz, and John Gotti He was featured in Art In America, New York
Newsday, and Illustrators in America. His entire collection of courtroom
art has been acquired by the John Jay School of Criminal Justice.
Author note: On top of covering major historic NYC cases and trials, Richard Tomlinson was always drawing in court, whether it was for the news or not. He was inspired by many things, a typewriter, a stenographer, a generic court scene,
in one case he used a court stamp to add interest
to his drawing. Below are drawings that have never been published before, scenes that Richard found compelling.
