James Lancett is a bestselling and award winning illustrator, animation director, storyboard artist and yellow sock lover! As a child growing up in Cardiff he was obsessed with cartoons, video games and all things fantasy. As he grew up and became a lot more beardy these inspirations held strong and so he moved to London to study BA Illustration and Animation at Kingston University. This degree opened the door to a job he had dreamt of ever since he was a kid and he now works in both illustration and animation industries. Currently working as episodic director at Hanna-Barbera Studios Europe, previously on Cartoon Network’s Goat Girl and Netflix’s ‘DEADENDIA’- Out Now!
