No other image seemed to evoke the larger-than-life quality of fairy tales than that of the friendly giant carrying children through an enchanted landscape. Only a character of gargantuan proportions could offer the unsurpassed view and fantastic vistas visible from his shoulders, not to mention the keys to unlock the magic of the stories around them,” says Scott Gustafson.

In a way, Scott’s Gustafson's painting is like a visit with old friends – characters from Gustafson’s earlier fairy tale paintings – Snow White, Cinderella and Puss in Boots are just a few of the familiar faces found there (as well as some new ones).
