This is the Mossy Giant.

The Mossy Giant (Pieter van Tongeren) is an actual Giant who lives in a small coastal city in the Netherlands. A daily routine of painting, drawing and design brings about the detailed artworks of the the Giant. Man, Fungus, Beast, Machine, Plant & Planet and a happy balance between them is what he is after in his works and in the world

The almost neurotic fascination with detailed line-work and stories within stories are very prevalent in Mossy Giant’s work. He wants the onlooker to be captivated by the piece and have the spectator discover new elements within the work time and time again. His works are not for the easily distracted, he wants people to take the time to sit down and look at the lines and details and step into the worlds that are in front of them. Slow down and look at some art, while smoking a plant or two.

The Recurring characters that play a major archetypal role within the art of Mossy Giant are the Bear and the Hippie always journeying together through the land and through their minds. Following the fungus and the plant kingdom to guide them during their epic trips. Power Flowers, Pot(s), Plants and Hippie vans are some of the other trusted pals of the Hippie and the Bear - Out there roaming the forests right now...

“If everybody could be like the hippie and the bear, this planet would be one happy habitat, respected, healthy and at peace!”

Through his art Mossy Giant hopes to play a small role in helping lift the stigmas surrounding forbidden plant medicines like Cannabis Sativa L. and the psychoactive fungi. Instead of locking them up Mossy Giant envisions a future where we put these powerful natural resources to work to benefit all of mankind. From food to shelter, medicine to munchies and clothing to canvas.
