Default Tony Hart - one for the brits here.

Tony Hart dies at 83

I remember him on Take Hart and a few other programs too, when I was a child. He made drawing and whatnot fun.
Morph and his buddy, Chas, were the highlight of the programs for me, though.

He was also an officer in the Gurkha Rifles in WWII and donated his artwork to the Ghurka association to raise funds for them. I'll try and post links after an errand I have to run.
