Tony Hart, one of my biggest influences as a child, and the person who got me into this whole drawing malarky has sadly died. I was lucky enough to met him a few months ago and was able to chat a little with him about art and inspiration. It was an emotional experience.
I've written a tribute to him on the
Media Molecule blog, talking a little more about his influence on LittleBigPlanet and the little gang of us that made it.
