John Tomsett Author

John Tomsett has been an angler his whole life. He grew up in Sussex. As a youth he was an outstanding amateur golfer but chose a career in the school classroom rather than on the golf course. Currently, fishing on the Yorkshire Esk provides him an escape from the pressure of his day job as a state secondary headteacher in York. Marvin Huggins is a self-taught artist based in York. He specialises in oil and pencil, although he works in a wide-range of media. In 2015 he was made a Member of the Guild of Aviation Artists when a number of his works were exhibited at London's Mall Gallery. Whilst he has painted and drawn subjects ranging from motorsports to animal portraits, this is his first venture into angling art. instagram.com/marvs.artwork
