He also said that CNN wasn’t the only group to send an artist to the press conference, and proceeded to leak a few hand-drawn renditions of some of the highlights of [Spicer’s meeting](http://time.com/4826069/sean-spicer-donald-trump-russian-interference-2016-election/?iid=sr-link9) with the press, including illustrations from Six Flags’ caricature artist, Edvard Munch, _Dilbert_ cartoonist Scott Adams, and, naturally famed child portrait photographer Anne Geddes.
