Practice Makes Cool Things Happen!

Look at this! I was able to bend, squish, twist my way to the top of this giant sneaker, built for Kickz for Kids! This thing puts a whole new meaning to balloon sculpting- I had to measure by the "foot"! Get it? Because shoes...? And feet? No? Just me? I'll see myself out...

This was an amazing opportunity. This EPIC sculpture was over 10 feet tall, 1 foot long (but, that one foot is 16 feet long), and used about 1100 balloons!

Sorry that I've been "tied-up" for a few weeks! Despite having to "sneak" in and out of the venue, munching on a bunch of ca-shoes, and finding out that balloons are my "sole" mate, I definitely haven't been "loafing" around! Check out this video on their Instagram that features this amazing "feet"!

"What's the craziest ballon you've ever made?"

A little over six years ago I hopped on a plane with my fried Cait and four suitcases filled with balloons headed towards Salt Lake City Utah. Over the course of four days, I created what was, at the time, the worlds largest balloon sculpture created by a single person. At 50 feet 8 inches tall with an arm span of 44 feet 4 inches I had beaten the previous record by almost double. At the end of 41.5 hours of nonstop inflating, tying and twisting, I had completed a giant Latex transformer. With a suggestion from an onlooker I named him Poptimus Prime.

If you would like to see the time lapse to see it go together in less than 40 plus hours follow this link

Comprised of 4302 purple, lime green and gray balloons and weing over 74 pound, he was actually to tall to be stood up straight in the Salt palace since their ceiling is only around 30 feet tall. And although there were 4 lines of paracord to keep his head and shoulders straight, there was no internal armature or wires to keep him structurally stable. In the six years since I had built him I am constantly asked "would you ever try to go bigger?" I think I would...but what would I make :)

Just a quick note

To say I hope you are all staying healthy and safe. this has been a crazy year so far and It's only getting stranger by the day. Let's all do our best to spread smiles... not germs!

On a happier note here's a little something that might make you smile :)
