Today I woke up to the sad news that Robin Williams had passed away. I was lucky enough to meet him a few times and he was always kind and obliging with autographs and photos for fans.
So, instead of posting one of my drawings today, I’ve decided to post one of his. Here’s Robin Williams’ sketch of Einstein’s Theory of Relatives, a quick doodle for a collection of celebrity drawings I compiled for a book for Koru Care, a children’s charity in New Zealand.
Back in 2011 I sent a copy of this drawing to Robin Williams on Broadway asking him to sign it and return it to me. No reply. So when he came to London later that year I got him to sign it as he was leaving BBC Radio 2. Unfortunately, he was too busy to dedicate it to me. Nevermind, I went on to the Happy Feet 2 premiere in Leicester Square and tried my luck again. I only wanted him to fill in the dedication, but I must have confused him. Now the drawing has the dedication and not one, but two Robin Williams autographs.
