Dog-amoto Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 I have a better one. When Morph heard the news, he was said to be speechless. Still pretty poor though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flameboy Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 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.
