He graduated from the University of California- Berkley where he majored in business and began working life as a newspaper cartoonist in Oakland. He signed with Disney in 1931, initially drawing Mickey Mouse black & white shorts before moving on as full animator to the Silly Symphony series which was done in colour and had a strong musical component. He established himself as one of the top animators at the studio with the hugely popular cartoons The Tortoise and the Hare (1935) and Who Killed Cock Robin? (1935). On the strength of this he became supervising animator on their first animated feature film, स्नो व्हाइट ऐंड द सेवन ड्वार्फ्स (1937).

Luske graduated from the University of California- Berkley where he majored in business. He began to make a living as a newspaper cartoonist in Oakland, where he worked throughout the 1920s. Soon however it was the Great Depression and work for a commercial cartoonist was few and far between no matter how good you were. Fortunately at the same time the Disney Studio was looking for artists to work on their shorts, which were rapidly becoming better both in success and quality. Not surprisingly Luske took the opportunity to apply for a job and was hired in April 1931.

Ham used his one year old son Jim Luske as the live action actor for Baby Weems in the film Reluctant Dragon (1941). His daughter Peggy's Cocker Spaniel, Blondie was used as the model for Lady in Lady and The Tramp (1955). His son Tom was the voice and model for the character of the youngest Darling boy, Michael, in Peter Pan (1953). Hamilton's wife Marcel, modeled for the character Persephone in the Silly Symphony, Goddess of the Spring (1934).
