LOU KNEATH TOONS 🎬

We have officially signed up to this years Cumbria Life show again in Keswick! Also we’ve been invited to another event down in Derbyshire which if we do attend it would be just to focus and promote our interior designs which you can find on our Etsy shop inaworldmadeofsteel @loukneath #cumbrialifehomeandgiftfair #weldingdesigns #bespokesteelfurniture #keswickcumbria

Last year we worked @loukneath and local children to animate the artwork in the yard here @swg3glasgow . Funded through Glasgow 850, the project was all about showing young people they have real agency in shaping their own environments in fun, playful ways. It’s a small example of what placemaking can look like when youth voice is centred: listening, making, and leaving a visible mark on the places they move through every day. Thanks to Pirie Park a St Patrick’s Primary Schools for their energy and imagination and to @rossbside for supporting the project!

Today feels like Christmas morning! Season 2 of Reflective Rebels Podcast: Human Stories, Brave Business is live. And I can’t stop smiling. The first story belongs to @loukneath (thank you Lou!) A recruiter once told her she wasn’t good enough to work in animation. She cried for 20 minutes. Then she built an international animation studio from Carlisle, got mentored by Disney and Pixar animators, landed CBeebies credits, and created Pigasus — a flying pig with 16 million views on Giphy. But when Lou said this, I nearly fell off my chair. “It’s a daily fight with the doubt and fear. It’s just getting really good at fighting it.” YES. That’s it. That’s everything. We can’t make the fear go away. Not if we’re actually growing, learning, changing. But we can learn to do bold things anyway. That’s what 2026 is about for me. Badass self belief. Real human support. Stories that remind you that anything is possible. Lou’s episode is out now. Search Reflective Rebels Podcast wherever you listen. Or watch on YouTube for the first time ever(!) - link in bio. 🐷 @loukneath @positivelypigasus And thank you @herds.media for making the pod with me!! #ReflectiveRebels #HumanStoriesBraveBusiness #Podcast #NewEpisode #selfdoubt

OVER 15 MILLION GIPHY VIEWS IN 4 MONTHS! 🤯💫💗 When we started uploading Pigasus stickers to Giphy just a few weeks ago, the goal was to give people fun, magical moments to drop into their Stories or messages. And now Pigasus has racked up over 15 million views (with 7.5 million in the last month alone)! It’s incredible seeing our little flying pig spreading manifestation magic around the internet. No ads. No algorithms. Just genuine, organic connection. That’s some serious word-of-mouth brand building. 🪽 @plus3kstudios @positivelypigasus #PositivelyPigasus #PLUS3K #CharacterIP #DigitalFirstStrategy #360Brand #Giphy #ManifestationMascot #CreativeLeadership

Something big is coming 👀✨ We’ve been working with young creators from Pirie Park and St Patrick’s Primary alongside Plus3K Animation Studio to celebrate Glasgow 850 in style. Their ideas. Their voices. Their city. Stay tuned… 🎬💥

My first @brandlicensingeurope was a whirlwind in 50 shades of pink 💗 @plus3kstudios was in the ultimate character brand heaven this week representing three gorgeous IP’s, each with their own heart-led missions to bring to the world. 🐽✨ @positivelypigasus - our very own manifestation mascot - Because who better to teach you to believe in yourself than a flying pig?! 💖🌱 @littlecoffeecupbook our sustainability storytelling hero, brewed with planet-positive purpose, made in partnership with the brilliant author (and my travel buddy) Hayley Slack! 🐾😻 @officialbagpuss - the iconic character we all adore. It was a total joy to be on the Bagpuss & Co stand with the magnificent @threewise.ent - We’re so proud to be supporting the upcoming digital rollout of one of the UK’s most treasured characters. If there’s one thing I’m taking away from BLE - between the house-sized Care Bears, immersive brand worlds, and collabs of dreams - it’s this: The sky’s the limit. And I won’t rest until there’s a giant flying pig suspended from the expo hall ceiling. 🐷💫 💕 #BLE2025 #50ShadesOfPink #WeMakePigsFly #PositivelyPigasus #LittleCoffeeCup #Bagpuss #PLUS3K #ManifestationMascot #SustainabilityStorytelling #HeritageIP #CharacterDesign #BrandMascots #AnimationStudio #Manifesting

✨ THE BUSINESS OF IMAGINATION - NEW CREATIVE WORKSHOP! 🚨 Working in the creative industries definitely has many perks but to me nothing beats that feeling of when a spark of imagination hits you, igniting your creative mojo - and suddenly time disappears as you bask in that glorious flow state of putting something new into the world. BUT… the real magic is having the creative stamina to keep that spark alive (whilst keeping the company going, your clients happy and keeping your sanity intact along the way!) On Tuesday 14th October, 10:00–13:00 at @theguildcoworking in Carlisle, I’m hosting The Business of Imagination, my new 3-hour workshop for entrepreneurs, creatives, and professionals who want to: 🌟 Unlock bold, fresh ideas 🌟 Beat creative blocks + dodge burnout 🌟 Build the creative courage to take risks 🌟 Turn imagination into growth that lasts I have spent the last 20 years working in animation as a director, producer, consultant, business owner and creative-whatever-you-needer. 😂 I’ve had the joy of working with global brands and broadcasters, helped organisations from so many sectors win game-changing tenders, and assisted with planting new sparks of inspiration into campaigns, pitch decks and rebrands that needed that magical creative touch. But don’t be fooled by all the creative glamour... Between all of the awards, the thrill of big wins and the joy of magic-making came the creative blockers, the overwhelm, the endless procrastination, the nos, the naysayers and last but not least - the inevitable burnout. 💥 Putting your ideas into the world is not for the faint-hearted and this workshop will dive deep into techniques for developing a creative mindset, turning your imagination into brave business moves and thriving with your creative heart on your sleeve. 💖 👉 Book your place here: https://lnkd.in/dKckb7vQ (Link in bio) Can’t wait to see you there! ✨ In partnership with @cumbriachamber Photo credit: @jenny.woolgar #CreativeBusiness #CreativeWorkshop #CumbriaChamber #CreativeEntrepreneurs #AnimationStudio #CarlisleEvents

Thanks for always being my +1 @shaun_warwick #londonvibes #businessandpleasure #producerlife

It’s not every day you get to add some creative magic to a project for a global icon. ✨ @plus3kstudios had the privilege of bringing the GFX to life for Ozzy: No Escape From Now. Seeing it on the big screen last night in London was both fantastic and deeply moving. The film launches globally on Paramount+ on October 7, and I implore you to watch it - I promise you will laugh and cry! A huge thank you to @echovelvetltd and to director, Tania Alexander for always trusting us with her vision for those finishing touches 💜 #OzzyOsbourne #Paramount+ #GFX #AnimationStudio
