Sparky is our main Studio Mascot - a robot style dog.  His story is that he was created by Inventor and Drone-bot Inky and built as a lifelong companion and help in his Studio production workshop. Sparky is a gentle creative character who loves his family and is super caring and dependable.  Fun Fact: He eats metal nuts, bolts and old bits of tech.

Inky is a bespoke one-off retro drone-bot. His story is that he was created by his human inventor and film director G.Gordon in 1947 as a film set helper and companion. Over the years Inky would prove to be a first class engineer and inventor, supporting many films to create props and help in the Stunt department.  Sadly G.Gordon would pass away and leave a small workshop to Inky in an investors trust. Inky didn't understand loss or loneliness and worked hard to make sense of what had happened, decades later he would create Sparky and his family would begin.

Pink Alien, a tiny squishy thing! Their story is that they were found inside a futuristic capsule on a beach by Inky in 2017.  Inky took the squishy thing back to his workshop where he and Sparky looked after it.  They both realize two things very quickly; 

1. It never stops eating and will eat anything! 

2. It got very big very quickly!! 

Pink Alien quickly becomes part of Inky and Sparky's family and is an excellent cleaner, moving any mess they find very efficiently! they love to help out.  They don't really remember much about where they are from, only that they now have a forever home where adventures can happen!  Fun Fact: Likes to eat - Pumpkins. 

Dislikes - empty plates.

Friday is a sweet small Pangolin.  Her story is that she arrived in a box of tech to Inky's workshop.  In the box with Friday was a photograph of the boy who had saved her and his scarf wrapped around her.  Inky and Sparky immediately took care of her researching and realizing she is an endangered species, they made her a place to live in their workshop and built her an ant farm.  She is the newest addition to the Sparky Family and a curls up on Sparky helping him with his tasks.  

World Pangolin Day is on the third Saturday of Saturday of February each year!
