Yes.. sad news indeed. I always enjoyed 'Vision On' as a kidling.

Back in days of old when we lived on another forum.. the original version of where we are now as was hosted by the CEO of BEA Virtual.. he had a fiddle one night and those who clicked on our forum page were greeted with the music to Vision On :lol: Much laughter and off topic drivel followed by pictures of Morph ensued :lol:

Just read about this in the local newspaper.

Very Sad, hope he can R.I.P.

I remember watching him on art programs as a kid.

Very Sad news,

I had the pleasure of meeting him about 5 years ago when he came to our LEGO UK design office in Slough, he was a really friendly chap indeed.

His secretary kept trying to rush him on as apparently they had another engagement but he stayed with us for some time to look at all our concept sketches for new toy lines.

I said to him that after many times as a child sending my work in to be shown in "The Gallery" and for none of them making the show it was fantastic to show him my artwork in person.

RIP Tony, a true British Gent.

Sketchy.
