Rachel or something idk

My name is Rachel, and I am the founder of Gigantuan Design. Godzilla collectors know me as the creator of Pizzedorah, the Pizza Kaiju, who went semi-viral in the Godzilla community. Since his creation, I have gone on to create multiple kaiju themed art toys that collectors all around the world have enjoyed. When I'm not selling online, you can find me at various makers markets and conventions, which have included G-FEST (in conjunction with Matt Frank) and Kaiju Brooklyn! I am very fortunate that my 3D art has become my job, and I am incredibly grateful to the community for giving me the opportunities I've gotten to experience over the past year.

Outside of Gigantuan Design, I am a married stay at home mom to a rambunctious two year old and an unendingly curious one year old. Before I had my children, I was a graphic designer for a local mom and pop apparel and design company. People native to the southeat Idaho area may recognize my various logos, digitized embroidery, business cards, shirt designs, billboards, and more. I was most known in the area for my classic and race car shirt designs, which have been featured at tracks and car shows across the region.

I was also a founding member of Kaiju United, a rapidly growing tokusatsu culture news outlet, along side my childhood best friend Jacob Lyngle. I designed most of the visuals for the site, brand identity, and their social media graphics, so give it a look! While I'm no longer involved with the website, I take extreme pride in the foundation I helped build and am so proud of their hustle. They are good friends and they are all going far!

First and foremost, I'm looking for models for an art installment I want to do. I've reached out to a couple of people I want to be a part of it, but I'm looking for normal, every day people to participate- not super models or celebrities. If you want a portrait kind of like my David Lynch picture, please reach out so we can discuss details.

Next, I have found a little more traction across Tiktok and Instagram lately. I've had a lot of inquiries about prints. I will most definitely be getting prints of the Meltdown Godzilla piece made, and the original is still up for grabs ($150). I've had some inquiries about the David Lynch piece as well, I'm just trying to decide if I want to print that or not. As of right now, the original is not for sale, I intend to enter it in the state fair at the end of the year. I would also love to display it elsewhere, but I'm not aware of any local spots that display art. If any southeast Idaho locals know of a place that does rotations, let me know! I displayed in the Villa downtown a decade ago, but that was so long ago that I don't even know if they still do that or who to contact if they do.

As for where I'll sell the prints, I will be opening a Big Cartel site. I hesitate to sell fan art prints on Etsy for a lot of reasons, but after being advised to open a Big Cartel by somebody who is much more experienced than I, I'm thinking Big Cartel is my best option. I'd love to completely migrate to Big Cartel, but the foot traffic on Etsy is just too good to me right now. Gotta stick it out for awhile longer.

As for commissions, I've been getting a lot of inquiries about tattoo designs and portraits. I will be accepting traditional art commissions on a case by case basis. One of these colored pencil pieces takes me upward of 10-20 hours to complete, plus punctuated by the fact that I am also running an Etsy store, preparing for two conventions, and taking care of a two year old and a one year old that other 80% of my waking hours, traditional art pieces take me a LONG time. Even just writing this post has taken me an hour with these two on my hip. 🤣 So long story short, I will accept commissions where I can.
