Bidders are apparently clamoring for a certain infamously inaccurate courtroom sketch. Yes, we're talking about this one:
Ever since the drawing of a barely recognizable Tom Brady sitting in a "Deflategate" hearing went viral last week, artist Jane Rosenberg has reportedly been flooded with offers to buy what has become a sketch of legend. Rosenberg told the New York Daily News she fielded as many as 20 offers, one of which came from Boston's Sports Museum.
Rosenberg, for her part, is still perplexed by the attention, and says she has "no clue" how much her work is truly worth. Here's hoping that her art's value won't be, er... deflated.
