The Artist
HUW-J- has been drawing since he could pick up a pencil. A Master of a multitude of drawing styles he has been hired by nearly all of the Major Studios including Warner Bros, Disney, Marvel and more. His creations have been developed into comics and toys sold around the globe. He has worked in practically all stages of industry including character development, storyboarding, effects, licensing and production. His skill, knowledge, and industry experience give him the necessary practical qualifications (and temperament!) to instruct all ages, at all levels. He’ll encourage youngsters to draw the characters they love, and he’ll ensure seasoned professionals can look at their work with a different perspective.

The Animation Art Gallery
Have been Europe’s Original Animation Art Specialists since 1995, supplying collectors and fans with the Art They Grew Up With (TM).

A recent move into the Movieum of London has presented the perfect platform to give the answer to the question they’ve been asked daily for over a decade “How can I get into the industry”.

Russell Singler, Director says “The Masterclasses are the perfect tool for all ages to perfect their drawing skills, create the characters they want, and have some fun! It will also give an invaluable insight to success in the industry.”
