LI’L BO’S SHEEPS AND PEEPS CAKE POPSICLES

This past weekend our very own Joy shepherd a bunch of delightful sheeps and peeps into the studio. Yellow peeps were not marshmallow filled as you might think, but made from fluffy lemon cake and heart-shaped candied feet. Pearly white little lambs tasted of vanilla cake with black licorice limbs.

And so we ask, “Where do bunnies fit into this Easter picture?”

What’s Not Cookin’ in the Beege Kitchen

This week Kathy and newbie design manager Cecilia spearheaded an exciting creative strategy implementation in the beege kitchen. First to come was assembling a new dining table that will never ever be used. Secondly, a fresh coat of chalk-friendly paint for intricate cat caricatures.

Coffee’s to the left.

Wool & Waffle Wednesday

That’s right. Wool & Waffles. What better way to stay warm and cozy on one of Portland’s coldest winter days?

Each giant came to work wearing one part wool and enjoyed savory waffles made by resident chef, Jason Bacon. It was even better than his last cooking debut - Frittata Friday! Winter never felt, or tasted, so good. See for yourself…

Holy Joy

It used to be that only serial killers were known by three names…but now let it be proclaimed from the mount that Sisters are too. Introducing Joy Wilson Stoelting in her debut role as the Iron Maiden.

Dutifully bound and soulfully devoted to a righteous setlist, this no nonsense nun will save the wretched and wayward listeners of the music masses! Are you ready to rawk? Say three Hail Mary’s and raise your devil-fingered fists in the air!

Starting Soon, The Finnisher

The next installment of the B-G cinema poster series follows the adventures of KP, otherwise known as The Finnisher.
She’ll shoot you as soon as look at you. With a 35mm in hand and a thousand yard stare, she could shoot the wings off a mosquito at forty paces. Amelia Earhart, Diane Arbus, and Annie Oakley rolled into one. Kinda like a Little Debbie Swiss Roll, but bigger and Finnish. Big Kathleen Finnish Roll, anyone?

Lady Baltimore Breaks the Balcony

The second poster in the Big-Giant Cinema Series, explodes off the screen and into your lap. Sounds a bit uncomfortable. And it ought to be, because Lady Baltimore, like her name sake, takes no prisoners. As is evident in the art, LB is all about class, class, class. Her mascara is trying to tell you something…Run!

National Doughnut Day Goes Nuts at Big-Giant

Most folks who’ve known us for a while are familiar with our weakness for doughnuts.

Today, of all days, is perhaps when we are at our weakest point with regards to those fried, doughy, holed, sugary pillows.

BG PHOTOSHOOT

We are getting close to wrapping up the new BG site and thought we’d give a little behind the scenes look at the apparel section’s photoshoot.

Big-Giant Rip Stick Rips Through Rip City

If you haven’t tried the Rip Stick, you should. It’s a wacky, two-wheeled stick-type thingy.

Brittany said of the Rip Stick, “It’s the most fun I’ve had since I was seven years old at SkateWorld.”

Derek said, “I tried it once, and I’ll never try it again.”

Miranda said, “It’s sickter, bro.”

We’re pretty sure the creators of the Rip Stick didn’t intend it to be used the way we used it. C’mon, not like that…you know what we mean.

Austin, Texas

We just got back from Austin, Texas last week and we’re headed back again this week. We’re growing rather fond of this gem of a city. The feel of the city is a lot like PDX so it makes the transition a bit easier.  It’s like a southwestern Portland or maybe Portland’s a Northwest Austin. Who can say. All we know is that we had a great time and loved the texture of the city. Take a look at some of the pics.

Or check out the Flickr link and see them all. Vomanos Amigos!
