Okay, so odd as this is, we create large scale balloon "Super Structures".  Here's a couple of examples,

20 Foot tall Annubis, God of the Afterlife


Full-Size World War I Sopwith Camel F-1, 27 foot Wingspan 1500 Balloons


Van Gogh's Starry Night.


3000 Balloon Roller coaster!


Ride it here, 3000 Balloon Rollercoaster!!

Anyway, we are making a full size "Creature from the Black Lagoon" for the 60th Anniversary coming up next month.  Pretty excited about this one!  The others have been fun, but like all of you, monsters are my passion!  So I wanted to let you guys know I will put the final product on here and might be putting some pictures up of some prototypes along the way to get your input if that's okay. 

The head is going to be tricky and probably use some real out of the box thinking.  Those gills have been in my nightmares!

So glad I found this forum!

This stuff is amazing! The Van Gogh is the coolest thing! The rollercoaster "ride" was the perfect way to end the video! Can't wait to see the Creature!!

This is the coolest use of balloons I've ever seen!!  The Anubis is breathtaking! I don't want to toot my own horn..but I can make a mean balloon sword...or a doggy.  :)   I really appreciate your artistry and skill! Amazing stuff!  I can't wait to see more, but I am warning you:  A whole lot of us might just spazz out when we see that CREATURE!  It is going to be so cool!  Ahhhhh!

These look amazing!!!  Quite impressive.  While I can't make swords or doggies like Charp, I can get a round one   :laugh:
