Isac Walter’s (AKA Emily Shur’s husband) mission statement on his Tumblr reads, “I’m basically seeing how long I can go without wearing the same shirt twice. I’m guessing at least 500 days.” Every day he publishes a photo of himself in a rock T-shirt and includes a little story about his selection. Isac’s project has been written up in Spin, Forbes & Boing Boing. Follow Isac’s Minor Thread blog here!

Hello Friends!

It’s been a busy couple of months with some of our bigger advertising campaigns including Levi’s, Ray Ban, Harley Davidson, Stussy, and HTC finally rolling out. We also added the lovely and talented wardrobe stylist DJUNA BEL to the roster who’s been working with us for years. Many artists chose to travel overseas this month. Michael Schmelling and Keren Richter spent time working in Paris while Emily Shur returned to Japan. We were heartened to see our artists giving back, with Emily donating prints for charity auctions and Djuna donating wardrobe from several of her shoots to benefit the Japanese earthquake and tsunami victims.

Finally, Giant Artists has a new office and a new phone number – (323) 660-1996.  Call us!

Be well,

GA
