Quote from: "Graham Lee"Craig, here are the last few questions unless others have any more for you?

19, What road in latex do you see yourself taking in the future
I hope to get to the point where every one knows my name like ken stillman or graham lee
I want to teach how to do this great art to more people so they can get the bug like I have.

20, What is your personal goal when you set off to work? Is it money or to entertain etc?
I think its money as we all have to put food on the table but I dont look at this as work as I love it so much but it is my only income so I have to entertain and make people smile or I dont get any more work :cry:

21, What are your balloon goals for the future?
Like I said in a other post I am working on a pdf with some other people and hoping to bring more in to it as well.
I also want to get to some of the big balloon jams all over the world

22, If you could start all over again, would you change anything?
Yes I think I should of gone full time a lot faster instead of sitting on my ass thinking of it

23, How would you like the future of balloon modelling to develop?
It would be great if in the uk we had a big balloon jam like the others have and for more people to think about the uk like sempertex to get more of the balloons over here like 660s and the other shapes we are here and we need the same stuff as the USA. :x

24, Who's the most famous person you have made a balloon creation for?
I have made a balloon for the actors of lazy town as they was going to be at a fireworks show I was working but they didnt come as one of them was ill :cry: But I did give it to the dj of lincs fm dont know which one  :lol:

25, How do you keep the enthusiasm going & what still excites you about our great world of latex
The endless things you can make I love going on the internet and seeing that some one has found a way to make a balloon look like some thing new and when you look at a pic and say thats a bike and dont even think thats a balloon bike

26, What inspires or is your thought process in coming up with a new design
I dont realy come up with any thing new my self I am a copy cat :twisted: but some times I chage things around abit or when I walk down the street you get a thought I bet I could make that :idea:

27, Who would you like to work with dead or alive?
the one and only Tommy Copper but in the balloon world ed chee or don cadwell or bad to the balloon mark any one realy

p.s I forgot the best person Graham Lee the best balloon artist in the world (if you can send the free balloons to the same place)      

28, What makes you laugh?
Kids jokes
eg:  Q-why did the chicken cross the road
       A-to get run over :lol:  :lol:
I always ask the kids for jokes even if they dont know any they try to make one up or just say you are a joke but that just hurts :cry:  :cry:  :cry:

If any one has any more it would be great

So who is going to be on this pdf file with you, any snippets of what creations are going to be on the disc?

Its for various artists in the balloon world a bit like a music cd you get 20 various artists to make one great album we hope to bring the same format to the PDF or CDROM think of it being like balloon magic It would be great if some one like your self would do some thing I have spoken to some big names in the balloon world and have got some of them involed but I also like the idea Working together we can give, up and coming artist a chance they have been working for, to publish their own work.
Now whats in it for the artists will be a percentage of the PDF sales profits in order to have unlimited income potential long term, as we aim at getting 6 pdfs out a year which sounds alot but if you have 15 artists doing 1 thing every 2 months its done.
and we are looking in to putting some of the old stuff from old books in aswell which is hard to get hold off so and might not be on sale any where any more just putting new pics on it and getting it to a new market with them getting a percentage of the PDF sales profits.
Abit like you Graham you have a paper back book which you sell you take one of the balloons from it put it in the PDF and start making more money on it.
Why put stuff on the net of free when you can get money for your ideas.

Hi Craig,

Could you suggest a few football fan related items that are quick to do? A list of the things you make to give out whilst at Lincoln City would be great.

Thanks,
