Waving Goodbye To A Making-Things Hero, Tony Hart
Inspiration to a generation of creative people, today i learned the sad news that Tony Hart has passed away. Hours spent in front of the telle watching Take Hart as a kid no doubt fueled my desire to design and make things throughout my life. I had a giant bag of paper, card, glue and string that kept me happy for rainy day after rainy day. Genuinely sad to hear Tony’s gone. Rex of Little Big Planet sums it up very well in his tribute here.

Oh! That’s so sad. I used to love this animation. But I’m glad he left such a great legacy.

I was sad when I saw the news. He just seemed to make things simple and he came across as a very kind man.
On a happier note - congratulations on the blog’s first birthday. I’m sure Mr Hart would have been proud to have inspired such great monsters.
