We’re not worthy!
Rex wrote a lovely piece about Tony Hart on the Media Molecule blog a few weeks back, but in a new interview with South London Today, Rex talks further about Tony, his influence on LittleBigPlanet and how moving it was to finally meet Tony Hart at the launch party for the game. Rex says:
The spirit of Little Big Planet springs from Tony’s belief that anything can be used to create art.

Rex Crowle, Illustrator, Animator and general creator of all things beautiful has revealed what his favourite community level on LittleBigPlanet is so far.
This level really captured my imagination, its so far from the “look” we designed for the game - it reminds me of some of the old LCD Game-And-Watch handheld games I grew up with. And the use of the text (which they’ve made themselves) is really witty, the way it narrates the level structure, it’s almost like a music video.
Rex is, of course, the creative genius behind much of LittleBigPlanet‘s super-duperness, like that splendid intro video, those wonderful stickers and no doubt all sorts of other things we’re not aware of.
Normally, at this point, we’d embed a video here but as he mentions in his blog post, “I could be trying to get lots of traffic by shouting I HELPED DESIGN LBP”, so we’ll do just that and send him some traffic.
Check out his favoutite level, ‘Pixelated’ over on his personal blog, Hairy Teeth.
Oh yes, and you can see more of Rex’s work over on his portfolio site too.
