Tremendously THEMENDOUS BURNING MAN 2015 PROJECT

If you did dare to miss us on playa frontage this year, check out our brilliant photos from our Kostume Kult sculpture install!!

This 18 foot Klown head was designed for the burn to act as the runway of the Kostume gifting station of the Kult at 6:45 and esplanade.

Why did we want to attend and participate at this freak show hippie burner event in the middle of the blazing hot and dusty desert? Why?, you ask?!….

Because it will blow your mind and rearrange everything you have ever thought about what life is and why we are even here…

Welcome Home.

Our full project story:

How? and Why? this came to be:

Themendous, aka Tremendous Theming by Themendous, is known as the King of Huge. Huge sculptures, huge costumes, huge installs, huge ideas, huge hearts. When we heard of an experience in the desert, with huge mutant vehicles, huge art installs, and huge community theme camps, we knew we had to participate. Huge Theming is our speciality!

When planning to raise money and build our own camp, we connected with Kostume Jim of Kostume Kult, and magic sparked. The legendary NYC camp joined forces with Themendous to create a gifted theming dream built on dust and love. This hard working extraordinary camp of dedicated leaders, Isa and Kimmy D, plus a great team of builders, is known for gifting costumes and playa gear to under-dressed burners the entire week of the burn. Under-dressed burners would line up in the K Train NYC subway car, built by the fantastic G-man! and await their destination of the Kostume Station on our prime location of 6:45 and Esplanade.

You could not miss our wicked clown sculpture which newly costumed burners would strut their stuff down. Freshly costumed burners were announced to the playa through the gaping clown mouth and down the red runway tongue, by the wildly fun MCs of Kostume Kulters Link and Jungle, although characters of their own, our Killer Klown Sculpture was tremendously Themendous and left lasting impressions and joy for all who attended! Gifting costumes and playa gear to any and all!

Without ever knowning of Burning Man, Giovanni of Themendous was building mutant vechiles and art cars on VW bug casseys and golf carts. Next year we plan to install a 30 foot collaborative sculpture as well as mutant vehicles and art cars. For the past twenty years we have mastered oversized sculptures, and our voyage to bring them to playa has just begun. It is a nice escape from the real world, to build art for the sake of making art and putting smiles on others faces! The 30th anniversary is upon us and we will continue our legacy as the King of Huge, coated in dust, magic, and love.

Tremendous Theming by Themendous are the official Google sculptors of Android and Googleplex, specializing in oversized sculptures, movie props, 3D signage, costumes, event displays, experiential marketing and much more! Keep an eye out for us in 2016 Burning Man, you will not be able to miss us!

Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2011 PREVIEW

One of our latest projects: Our Victoria's Secret PINK dog mirror balls make their appearance in this youtube video at 4:19 in. We made a total of 8 dogs at 3ft long each. We then scored the internet for pink glass tile suppliers and cleaned up everything out there. Yes folks, there are NO MORE pink glass tiles available. This was a great and challenging project to say the least, as there were the usual delays that happen when you take on not only a custom project, but a prestigious one as well. Everything had to be spot on to Victoria's Secret Pink Brand. The usual multitude of emails, texts and conference calls between our shop, the local production studio and the VS France office took place. Once we were off and running with our sculptures, we needed to find the pink glass mirror tiles and as mentioned above, there were not many out there and all needed to be special ordered and cut to our specifications. Those tiles then needed to be overnighted, or we would not b

Beard styles to chose from

So this is where you guys get to have some fun. Remember, the style with the most votes wins and I will hold on to that style for at least 1 month (maybe more, if I like it). But remember the rule is that you have to donate directly to Give Kids the World . They have a several easy ways for you to do so. One last thing... I am a publicly seen person in several places. I am also a member of my town's school board of education so, I WILL have to "sport" the look that gets the highest vote. To register your vote, simply make a comment on this post and the tally will be there for all to see. Now go. Go and donate whatever you can. As little or as much and don't forget to spread the word to all your social network friends! Thanks. Giovanni Calabrese This is what I used to look like before the beard! Man, I need a shave!
