DENISE GALLAGHER + 64 PARISHES

July 19, 2023

It’s always a pleasure when a client is so happy with your work that they return again and again.


Denise has several clients in that category, as she shared "I was thrilled when the art director of “64 Parishes Magazine,” a publication by Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities, reached out to me to create an illustration for the cover of their Winter 2022 edition. I created an illustrated cover for their 2019 Winter edition that they loved and that I was extremely proud of."

"This 2022 edition of the magazine focused on winter traditions throughout the entire state of Louisiana. This was a bit of a challenge as Louisiana has many different regions, each with unique customs. I went to work researching the traditions and sketching out ideas which I shared with the art director. They loved the idea of a “winter carnival” of whimsical Louisiana wildlife dressed in their winter finery, marching along, playing music and celebrating winter in Louisiana."


The resulting cover was beautiful and appeared in museums, galleries and art spaces through out Louisiana.

Loud Cloud Animation Studio wins second Heartland Emmy for "Love Next Door" We're proud to represent Loud Cloud Animation , and we're even prouder today. Under the leadership of founder Mason Drumm, Loud Cloud just took home their second Heartland Emmy, this time for their stop motion spot "Love Next Door," created for Title.com. The project brought together Loud Cloud with Finch Digital and Brian Lawes, and the result is the kind of work that reminds us why we love representing this end of the roster. In Mason's words: "This project was easily one of the most ambitious stop-motion swings we've taken as a studio. Massive handcrafted sets, countless tiny details, long nights, problem-solving, experimentation, and an incredible amount of heart from every artist involved (and only like five panic attacks). Grateful to our collaborators, clients, crew, family, and everyone who continues to believe in what we're building at Loud Cloud."  Loud Cloud also put together a full process book unpacking how "Love Next Door" came to life, from early mood boards and storyboards through puppet fabrication, set building, and post. It's a rare, detailed look behind the curtain of a stop motion production, worth a read if you want to see just how much craft goes into 90 seconds of film. http://bit.ly/45Irlhi Congratulations to Mason and the entire Loud Cloud team on a well earned win. Handcrafted stories and worlds, one stubborn detail at a time.
