THANK YOU @pictoplasma @procreate for a thoroughly brilliant and inspiring few days - we loved sharing our work and making new friends.

Thanks also to everyone who came to our Procreate Dreams demo - so many great questions 😊 - we can’t wait to see how you use Dreams.

#InterestingPeopleMakeInterestingStories ❤️

You’re not behind.
You are not too late.
You’re on your own timeline.

Just sayin 🤨

Form Play on achieving the seemingly simple – with max effect:

“Dynamism reveals character and brings empathy, wit and lightness to storytelling. We always seek the simplest expressive shape – the pose that feels most alive yet readable and human. Movement allows us to say a lot, very quickly: overstretched limbs and exaggerated poses instantly let a silhouette convey not just action, but emotion, humour and tension.”

Catherine and Mark will speak at Pictoplasma Berlin in 3.5 weeks – presented by @procreate (🙌 for the support)!

2025 reminded us of something easy to forget when you’re busy, being busy. 👀

👉Good things happen when you start being more you.👈

It’s been a humdinger of a year and it’s all stemmed from us leaning into what truly puts the play, in Form Play.

It was kickstarted by a talk at the wonderful @motionfolksbristol - the inspiring brainchild of @studio_yatta 🔥

And we were honoured to represent @procreate on various stages, sharing our characters and micro stories at @forwardfestivals in Vienna, @inmotion.playgrounds at the Barbican, and @intl.international Assembly at The Royal International Concert Hall, Glasgow. Huge thanks to Procreate for the invitation. We’ve loved meeting audiences and fellow speakers and are in constant awe of the way these events are organised. 🙌

And we’ve joined incredible panels, including Fuse55 roundtable with the powerhouse that is @joelpilger sharing our approach to licensing and IP as a more sustainable way to build ownable assets for brands. 💫

Between talks and developing brand stories for clients, we’ve mentored graduates, reviewed portfolios, run frame-by-frame animation workshops, guest lectured at universities from Brighton to Ravensbourne and even struck some crazy poses for live drawing in the Barbican foyer. 😅

So why recap on all this?

It’s simply to share the real lesson we’re carrying into 2026 and why we believe it’s all been possible…

“Find out who you are and do it on purpose”

Well said, Dolly. 😊

Wishing you all a wonderful 2026. ☮️

Hold onto things that move you forward, not the ones that keep you stuck 😅💫
