TONY HART (1925-2009)

I woke up this morning to the sad news that Tony Hart has died at the age of 83. I grew up watching his art programmes and was always impressed and inspired with his speed and skill at using anything he had to hand to create a picture.

I'm sure watching Tony Hart and Morph for half an hour a week contributed to the art education of many children of a certain age, myself included and I thank him for it.

Rest in Peace Tony, at least Mr Bennett will stop pestering you now.

PICKING UP THE SCRAPS

This is a brand new drawing of Stewie Scraps who's now available to buy in his own book series. A bit of a loner, Stewie makes top inventions out of junk before having mad adventures with what he's made.

Stewie Scraps was created and written by the brilliant Sheila Blackburn and published by Brilliant Publications (who are also brilliant, funnily enough).
