I was thinking of doing something very similar.He was a real inspiration to me when I was young. He was a man who loved art and enjoyed himself. He made growing up not seem so bad - if you could be his age and still love being creative it meant that adult life couldn't all be boring.
I think it was watching Morph, with it's cheap production values, that inspired me to get into animation. It showed me that you didn't have to have amazing skills to be able to produce something that others could enjoy, you just had to have a bit of heart in it (no pun intended). From this, you could say that his inspiration planted a lot of the seeds of who I am today.
A sad loss for us all, and my thoughts are with his family, but his sense of fun and his influence most certainly won't be forgotten.
