June 7th - Toy Story Alien

Its film Friday today and its also my birthday, I love all things Pixar and Disney so here is one of the cute little aliens from Toy Story, he is another one I designed myself and I am pretty pleased with how he turned out, will be able to see him in HMV Gunwharf from 5pm this afternoon (7th June) and over the weekend.

He is made from 11 balloons, all a mixture of 160s and 260s, plus a round 11" balloon which makes up the base, it has a small amount of water in it, this stops him from bouncing around too much.

24th May - Yoda

As promised its film Friday and today I visit the Star Wars Universe, this Yoda is another Dylan Gelinas design, I made a few changes to Dylans design as I wanted him to have a lightsaber and I didnt actually know how Dylan made his version, you can check out Dylan's Yoda on the Slightly Twisted Facebook page here - https://www.facebook.com/pages/Slightly-Twisted-Balloons/133645573385261?fref=ts

My Yoda sculpture is currently in HMV in Gunwharf Quays, you can see my sculptures in store every weekend so always keep a look out for them. I am currently away for a few days so My Daily Balloon has become fully automated (I hope), if anything goes wrong then I will be uploading some photos on Sunday evening to catch up.

Coming up on June 2nd, I will be doing a live balloon sculpture at the Aspex Gallery in Gunwharf Quays, Portsmouth, it is to help celebrate the Camp Bestival Around the World Tour, between the hours of 11am and 2pm I will be creating my biggest sculpture of the year so far (at nearly 6 feet across and 5 feet tall, eeek) there will be lots of other activities taking place in the gallery and I will update you on those nearer the time.
