Jay Rayner

What more deep a truth than an acknowledgement of the universality of mortality? Jay Rayner of course adds a cynically personal touch, which I cannot believe, i hope to see him again on Masterchef, again with his witty hair and occasional cravat (or am I confusing him with Matt Preston?), what more can we hope for in life Mr Rayner? Surely not exquisitely crafted appetisers?

Anita Manning

This does seem like madness. But apparently applied to vintage stools, it is wisdom. Love her hair.

Ricardo Afonso


I thought this was very true Ricardo, life does take you in certain directions, it took you to Musical theatre, and now it has taken you to team Danny, where will it take you next?

Also - fascinating life point - drawing this I noticed the phenomenon that is if you pin a microphone on the middle of a round collared t-shirt, it can drag it down a little and make it look like a v-neck. I'm sure Ricardo is comfortable in a v-neck, but it's something to bear in mind if you're planning to appear on reality TV and you want to retain the appearance of wearing a round necked t-shirt. I also just realised that you can't really tell this in my drawing, as I corrected it. so never mind.

First Post Evvvveeerrrrr!

A new project from Jenny Robins (me) based on two fundamental truths: People are brilliant, drawing from television is brilliant. Because of how it captures the brilliance of people.

TV, like life, is fleeting, we laugh, we cry, we go in the other room to make a cup of tea or read an email and miss stuff. I want to record some of the greater moments and pin them down in the traditional moment capturing method of drawing. Which is better than photographs. Because I say so.

For this project I want to bring you true wisdom from the unscripted mouths of celebrities and reality tv contestants, masterchefs, britains with talent, interviewees and interviewers. But it has to be straight from the head, conversational, as i said - unscripted, ostensibly their words, their brilliance, and their expressions when they said it.

Sometimes there will be cliche, there will be bad grammar (and not just from me) and there will be cringe. But i want you to know it's coming from a loving place.

Here are some previous TV drawings I've done to get the ball rolling

one of my first TV drawings - do you remember Corin from Big Brother 11? I really wish I had started this project when Big Brother was still good. 

These are some drawings of Phillip Schofield. That man has an excellent face. 

These are last year's The Voice finalists, don't know about you kids but i am loving this year's lineup already.
