File:Khalid Shekh Mohammed by Janet Hamlin -- after correcting the size of his nose.jpg
Janet Hamlin's first image of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed -- after she redrew his nose.
Janet Hamlin is an American artist who provided the courtroom sketches in all the Guantanamo military commissions. She has also prepared book covers and movie posters. She is a technical illustrator, credited with illustrating dozens of books.[1][2][3]
She studied at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena.[1]
The first time she drew alleged 9-11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, she had to alter the drawings she made of him because he complained she made his nose too big.[1][2][3][4][5] The images she drew of him in 2008 were the first to be made public since his capture and secret detention in 2003.

"'It’s the hardest job I’ve ever done,' Hamlin said of Guantánamo. There were a couple of baseball caps on the shelf behind her, featuring an embroidered message on the back: 'It don’t GTMO better than this.' She said that she has grown to appreciate some of the smaller 'heartwarming touches,' such as the soldiers’ placing an orchid in the women’s lavatory, but that she could do without the knowledge that the bottled water she’d been drinking was chilled in an oversized refrigerator nicknamed 'the morgue.' She said, 'It’s a little macabre.'"
