LINCOLN DURHAM + SANTORO LONDON
March 21, 2023
Illustrator / animator Lincoln Durham and Hamland Entertainment are proud to announce their debut animation project – the first episode in a 6-part series, in association with Santoro London.
Originally created by artist Suzanne Woolcott as a private series of introspective portraits, the art of Gorjuss has since been nurtured by Santoro London over the past 13 years, growing into a retail phenomenon with millions of fans worldwide.
As society races faster and louder towards modernity, Gorjuss is a nostalgic reminder of the human psyche; a gentle nod to our childhood courage, hidden insecurities and innermost thoughts.
Now entering a brand new chapter in the brand’s history, Hamland have worked their creative magic to delicately create a charming universe where words are not needed in order to be heard.
‘Little Luna’ is the very first girl to be brought to life, manifesting an inspiring narrative for all. Her story is the initial installment of A Gorjuss Anthology; a captivating collection of 6 animated short bedtime stories for children and adults alike, set for release every other month over the course of 2023.
Poignantly written, her adventure encourages girls everywhere to dream their biggest dreams.
Lincoln brought this inspirational and heartwarming story to life through his remarkable skills as a Director of Animation, 3D sculpting, rigging, and animation, as well as film editing, sound design, and music scoring.

Two years ago, Denise Gallagher said yes to the biggest project of her career. A London publisher wanted her to research folktales from around the world.
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.
