If it's recognizable as the TV show, there may be copyright issues unless you purchase the rights to the images!.

The drawing is legal!. It's the selling where it gets dicey!. However, my understanding is that prosecution is infrequent, usually reserved for people who are selling quite a few!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The bigger issue here is that performers nowadays enjoy trade mark privileges for their image--so if you paint anyone famous, they or their heirs have a right to sue you!.

I'd stick with people who are long dead; they don't have any heirs left to sue with!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
