His childhood years were spent in Wales, but he later moved to the United States to attend the Massachusetts Art School. Robinson then studied in Paris where he was influenced by the political cartoonist Honore Daumier. He returned to New York City and became famous as a cartoonist and illustrator for various newspapers and magazines.
