Norman McLaren was a pioneer of animation and extremely skilled artist.

My favorite work of his is Pas de deux. Others are Synchromy, Two Bagatelles, and Pen Point Percussion.

He is via The Animation That Changed Cinema, which is also great.

Requiem for Romance and Microsoft Garage Mouse without Borders
First is a beautiful video and second is a great program that allows you to share your mouse, keyboard, clipboard, and files across computers.
