When Balloons don't pop.



I have decided to do something alittle bit different earlier this year and we decided to learn balloon sculpturing. And is like my senior for balloon sculpturing, learning for almost 2 years already. It’s quite fun to do and it’s interesting how so many shapes and sizes of balloon can be used to form a character or even a person. 

As for me, I have learnt balloon sculpturing out of curiosity and to explore new forms of art. But for my friend, it is like his job, his passion and his love for balloon sculpturing. He is definitely on a way higher level than me. All I knew to do are like those simple balloon sculpturing like dogs and my best sculpture is like this cookie monster. CUTE right?! Haha. Not bad for a newbie I guess. 

My friend is also often invited to birthday parties and events just to sculpt balloons and is being paid well. Of course, there is a certain standard. He is able to sculpt characters like superman, batman, wonderwoman and even the hulk ! All of them are like human sized. I guess that this is his form of art. We may be different in pursuing our perspective of art but still, art will always be art !

As quoted from Igor Babailov, “Art is an international language, understood by all.”
