DENISE GALLAGHER + CRICKET MEDIA

Illustration Series for "The Woman and Her Bear," a play based on an Inuit Legend. Featured in the September 2021 issue of Cricket Media's "Faces" Magazine.
Sometimes a job comes along that is perfectly suited for an artist. This was the case when the art director for Cricket Media's "Faces" magazine reached out to illustrator Denise Gallagher to create a series of illustrations to accompany "The Woman and Her Bear," a play based
on an Inuit legend.
Denise shared "I have always been fascinated with myths and legends — particularly those based on animals and nature. So I thoroughly enjoyed working on this illustration series — reveling in the cool icy blue palette and the relationship between the Inuit woman and her "bear-son." In the end, I was especially thrilled when the art director responded that they were "over the moon" with the final illustrations. I, too, was over the moon with the experience!"

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.
