[Dyson]

Ahhh, that's a real shame!

He's an absolute legend from my childhood! I've always loved art and grew up watching Hartbeat!

He really inspired me growing up and I truely thank him for that!

Ah, I loved Morph (although I found the rest on that show to be a bit boring). What a guy.

[Daft]

My friend is thinking of having a Morph party in honour. I hope she does it.

[Jimbob]

A true legend, and an inspiration to many young kids including myself. RIP, you will be missed.

R.I.P :( loved hartbeat back in the day

[Rummy]

Man, I just woke up to find this out, it feels like you knew was coming one day, but still don't wanna hear. What an amazing guy, I wonder how many budding young artists he inspired in his time! At least he's done a good run at 83 though, man was an absolute legend.

[thirtynine.]

It was a 'art attack

[uəʌəsʎɐɾ]

83? I could've sworn he was 284...

Absolute gem of a guy. Quite the impressionist upon my artful soul, innit.

Nooo... :sad:

[Chris the great]

[soag]

The man was a legend R.I.P.

[tapedeck]

Gutted. Truly a giant of kids TV. With a giant heart to match.

You can write a message on his websites wall if you want to:

... Terrible.

[Dog-amoto]

I have a better one.

When Morph heard the news, he was said to be speechless.

Still pretty poor though.

Plain awful...Not so much a surprise though really he was 83 and suffered from a stroke stripping him of his greatest love his art, as he couldn't do it. I think the development of art of TV owes so much to him and in particular inspiring kids to draw and no doubt leading to shows such as Art Attack and Smart hitting the critical mass. Also his creation of Morph can't be denied as a crucial part of the stop motion clay animation world.

Will remember fondly sending in pictures every week to Hartbeat and being gutted that I never got shown on TV but I did once get placed in a drawing competition on Blue Peter and won a badge, which incidentally he designed the logo for, so in some way he did impact my art.

Ha ha! That's awesome!

[Dan Dare]

I heard today that he couldn't draw since his stroke a few years ago

that made me really, terribly sad...

Aww that's awful... Strokes are horrible horrible things.

*dies a little inside*

[Chris the great]

i guess the title of greatest living artist falls onto neil buchanan now.


i guess he had a good run, and he gave us morph.


haven't the heart to start watching tony hart on youtube yet.
