| Les comes from an Art background having studied Fine Art at universities in the UK and finally completing a Masters Degree at Rutgers University in the US.
His teaching experience is extensive initially having taught Art & Design but gradually becoming more interested in Filmmaking and Animation while teaching at colleges in London. It was here that he met Joanna, ironically while teaching her drawing.
He first collaborated with Joanna on her Graduation film "Girl's Night Out" while teaching basic animation at Middlesex University. This film introduced the central character of Beryl to audiences and successfully launched Joanna's career as a world class animator. From then on the two worked very closely together.
