Last year we sent three Giants to the Big Apple for an inspiration trip. Little did we know that an army of bed bugs were breaking down the gates of Gotham to invade even the finest of establishments. Ever the opportunist, the young Brittany gathered, trained and whipped into shape enough of the invaders to form her answer to Canada’s Cirque de Sole. Her life long dream: The Bed Bug Circus.

’tis the season.
Some smart a** posters for our friends.
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.
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…
Believe the hype, it’s Frittata Friday!
Resident chef, Jason Bacon, made his cooking debut this morning with this gourmet frittata. Read the full post
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!
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?
Coming soon…straight to video, Major Idaho.
Frontier justice, served on a gold platter. Action. Adventure. Intrigue. Romance. Hair. Cereal. This one has it all. Featuring Scott Thomason in the role he was born to play. A man’s man, amongst men, in a world full of women.
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!
It’s like this: Mastodon wasn’t going to make it to Portland until October, so our resident metal head, DW, decided to head to Spokane to see them last month.
Before the show, DW thought Spokane deserved an honest to blog full on silk screened poster announcing the show, so he dun it.
The first poster in a series which is sure to be highly collectable by people who know, has just been released. The BIG-GIANT, featuring DW as “The Sultan” comes out swinging. The poster series, created by our very own Jason Bacon, includes a cast of favorites, with each individual member of the studio exploited, er focused on, for each poster.
Here at Big-Giant, we like to say we don’t really have a mission statement or sugary wording to represent what we do. We do, however, have four principles we live by…A four word philosophy, if you will. Even if you won’t, we will.
A (very) short story from Derek…
One morning I was enjoying a bowl of Marshmallow Treasures (the Fred Meyer version of Lucky Charms).
Putting down the sports page for a moment, I glanced at the milk carton next to the cereal box. I was suddenly inspired to create a cleaner, more graphic version of the carton. Read the full post
A couple of years back, we thought it might be nice to design an electrical
themed poster to cover an eyesore of an electrical panel in the studio.
So we did. Design a poster, that is.
Here are a few pics from the UNKL show at the Compound Gallery. Thanks to everyone that made it out.
What do you get when you put a station wagon, some guns, the color pink and a little filth into a mixing bowl and stir it up?
Well, when WE do it, we end up with an UNKL-ized Urban Assault Vehicle. Read the full post
