"Bigalke has developed a distinctive style that layers vintage imagery to create texture and depth in scenes that cast a pale glow due to his habitual use of a faded color palette…Frequently featuring illustrated animals and antique personages, oceanic or forested environs, and it wouldn't be rock and roll without a skeleton every once in a while, Bigalke’s cohesive collages feel earthly but abstract, legible yet a potpourri of mashed together elements. Whether designing for the Red Bull Sound Select series or countless bands and venues near and far, there’s always an organic flow to his work born of his background in drawing and painting with oils and acrylics.”

- Chris Young, Vortex Music Magazine
