Hello fellow Teamliquidians!!

[image loading]

HOW THE HECK did I forget to say.... HUGE thank you to Kennigit and everyone at ESL who without them all this would not be possible!!


Wow how huge is this TL thing getting!! I remember when there were less than 200 of us!! Before I had even given a thought about balloons....It was all about Broodwar and the awesome community and friendship at live events...How things have grown! And I can see Broodwar games again!!


So its been a bit, there are bound to be many who have not a clue as to who I am...Thats cool..

Really I just wanted to share that a dream to merge balloons and gaming has actually starting to come together...it is happening!!

July 20-21st Frankfurt ESL One DOTA2 event!

http://www.eslgaming.com/interview/so-we-heard-you-dota-balloons-interview-esl-one-frankfurts-official-balloon-twister

After that my hope is to travel around busking/ meeting with balloon and gaming people. (Anyone around the areas Ill be in let me know!)

I hope to hit Amsterdam, London, Where I hope to jam with other balloon people and or teach.

And then try to get to Edinburgh around July 5th or so. Then make it to Dublin by the 9th of July Where I will be doing balloons again at the City Spectacular!

http://www.cityspectacular.com/

I hope to see many of my overseas friends! Hit me up here or on Facebook/twitter/phone/text whatever.. Most of which you can find at my Balloon Man FuDD page.

Take tons of pictures!
I'm hyped for dota balloons.
Keep up the awesome~
A build is not a guess, an estimation or a hunch, a feeling, or a foolish intuition. A build is a dependable, unwavering, unarguably accurate, portrayer of your ambition.

Incredible work as always!

DotA balloons, I'll wait for that, especially Doombringer or maybe Clockwerk or maybe Alchemist or maybe... nvm.

This. I'd definitely watch a few videos of you making or even just planning the build. Your average balloon person might know all the standard animals but learning about the insight required to make something no one has really done before (like a dota hero) would be awesome.

Pretty cool interview! I didn't know you got into balloon twisting in 2009, seeing how awesome are your sculptures I thought you had been doing it forever.

Enjoy your trip!

Spotlight and all this love!! Thanks everyone!

It was 2007 when I first learned to blow up the twisting balloons (they are hard to blow up or were for me)
I was into magic at the time and had no interest in being a balloon person. I did purchase balloons at the WCG 2007 Seattle World Finals event and D4D and I tried to make some stuff I had bought them more to challenge people to trying to blow them up, as an afterthought on a trip to Pike place and the magic shop under pike place. A couple years later is when I actually saw there was art to be done with balloons and it all started when I meet other balloon people at a local jam!!


I have done a few SC units throught the years. Some were even fetured on DAY 9 's big HOTS event I think it was... Ive done many of the players (years ago so I need to update them!) for TL and even MLG and Homestory cup balloons.... Check out my facebook/Instagram etc....

That would be cool to stream making balloons I have been thinking about trying it but then feel like I have too much I want to buy for ballooning and not enough to spend on a streaming set up.... I could start small and cheap though.... Maybe I can pick some brains of the techies at ESL!! I am not a techie guy ... I just play games surf the web T_T .. Hey Iam old is my excuse...

Thanks so much and please ask any questions and I will deff. take pics and post them here!!

Doing the more detailed creations I figure most things I will be making (for the attendees) are going to take 15-25 minutes on average (doing DOTA2 and other video game characters) I hope to get as much practice as I can before hand to help in the construction of some larger displays as well as try to quicken my time as well as broaden my base knowledge of characters and possible ways of constructing them.

I will be trying to work as fast as possible and get as many balloons to as many people as I can! And hope to at least give anything a shot... sometimes when I try to make things just off of pictures and no prior practice they can come out looking a bit funky usually passable but sometimes its a mess...But I am upfront and try my best!!

Make sure you have a photo of what your looking to get as I am unsure if my phone/internet access will be working at that point (If I can get my phone set up to work overseas before hand then it will be fine, Last trip I had some trouble getting my phone working over there!)

Because I hate roaming I can't tell you about US phone support in Germany... "our" Telecom is selling there though; maybe that helps...

But good to know! Can I already request a Meat Boy?

I am very happy as well!!

Forgot to say thank you to Kennigit and ESL (how the fuck did I do that sorry) Edited it in.

Meat boy looks challenging ...its the simple shapes.... but anything is possible with balloons! Ive got a long road ahead of me I am looking forward to growing and challenging myself and my art!!

Hey its a Care Bear and hes Grumpy!!

Thanks everyone!!

I hope I - one day - get to live my a dream as well.

Just out of curiosity:
Did you ever ship/mail one of your creations?
Have you ever tried flying one of your creations with a drone?
