Throughout his long fight against cancer, Tony remained optimistic and in good cheer, continuing to create his artwork and planning for the future. He had beaten the disease for a few years and many of us thought he'd be around for a good while yet. Sadly, his illness accelerated recently and it was not to be, but his courage is an inspiration to us all.

Sad news. I knew Tony quite well. Our paths often crossed in Brighton and elsewhere. I recorded a voice over for one of his animations and enjoyed many chats with him about Sci-Fi and comics. It was he who suggested, after seeing it, that my play 'Skintime' was reminiscent of Grant Morrison's The Invisibles which led me to check.out that writer and become a fan. I was always interested to hear him tell me how he was coping with his illness and of his various other adventures living life on the edge. Sadly it appears his struggle is ended. RIP Tony.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts Anton.
