Jodi Arias is currently offering a $1500 original drawing entitled "Angel" that features an attractive woman that bares an eerie resemblance to the convicted murderer.
The woman in the drawing is fair-skinned and has long, flowing hair, rosy cheeks and piercing eyes. A link to purchase the drawing was tweeted from Arias' Twitter account Tuesday morning.

The 33-year-old photographer has also been actively promoting on Twitter the sale of 100 "limited edition" prints of her latest jailhouse painting, "Sailing at Sunset." The romantically themed drawing is priced at $1500 with the limited prints available for $39 each on her website jodiarias.com. It's the most recent of the 33-year-old's work, which includes other landscapes and portraits of Elizabeth Taylor and Frank Sinatra.
Although Arizona's "Son of Sam Law" prevents criminals from profiting through book and movie deals, her supporters are not restricted from sending donations to her commissary fund.
"She's able to have access to paper and purchase color pencils, and if she wants to release her property to someone outside, she can," said Chris Hegstrom, spokesman for the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office that oversees Arias's incarceration, reports ABC News.
The California native was convicted of first-degree murder on May 8 in the ghastly 2008 death of her ex-boyfriend Travis Alexander in his suburban Phoenix, Ariz. home. However, the same jury that found her guilty failed to reach a unanimous decision on her sentencing. As a result, a retrial will be held later this year to determine whether she should be sentenced to death, life in prison or life with a chance of release after serving 25 years.
For now she remains in a women's prison in Maricopa County, Ariz., where she is forbidden from accessing cell phones or computers. However, she still managed to tweet and sell artwork online anyway.
Back in January, shortly after Arias' murder trial began, her artwork appeared on eBay listed at prices of $300 to $400. At that time, descriptions listed with the art noted that the profits would go to costs associated with the trial, including paying for Arias' family to travel from their homes in California to Arizona for the five-month trial.
"She's not physically running a business from our jail," Hegstrom said. "I can't stop her from talking on the phone or releasing property."
