This chap was a favourite of mine as I was growing up, especially "Morph". Along with Rolf Harris he made me realise I would never be an artist, but I loved to watch him create his drawings and paintings.

Yes, I just heard he has passed away at age 84, though I thought he were older, due to memories of his hair colouring. Still, I do believe he was instrumental in my interest in art, and having the confidence to continue with it. I Remember, I used to race home from school, to catch ' Vision On ' in which he showed his art and encouraged ums to send in their art for the gallery. Later his own show, ' Take Hart ', where Morph came into existance.

I always admired his ability to create a picture in any medium starting with a small detail and finishing in a bigger picture, the fun used to be to guess what he was painting as that small start detail evolved into the final result.

Yes, the frog thing, 'Vision On' tipped on it's side and a mirror image of it, then it used to bounce off the screen. I tried drawing that thing as well. What was that fast moving furry thing that zipped all over the studio causing them to chase it when it appeared ?
