Thanks Rob!

It was fun to do - and I learnt a lot at the same time too! (Always a bonus!).  

Thanks Graham. The photographer did a lot of photoshop work on the images as there were hands everywhere holding the balloon animals and the watches!

I think the most expensive one was about £146K. I wasn't allowed to touch the watches for some reason!

My first published balloon art thanks to the Harrods Magazine Watches and Jewelry publication.

Simple balloon art requested by the client to add fun to their stylish watches. Prices of the watches started at £18K to "Price on Request"!

Patty Sorell posted this on face book.
"Royal passed away suddenly at home. We are heartbroken. Royal was an inspiration to countless people. He was a teacher, a mentor, an example of how to be a gentleman, an entertainer and a friend. He was my best friend. I am at a loss for more words than this, I loved his with all my heart and I don't know what I'll do without him. He's gone from this world too soon."

For those that didn't know Royal he was a performer, balloon artist, co-organiser of Twist & Shout Balloon Convention and teacher. Royal had a wonderful sense of humour. He has reached many people in the balloon community over many years and will be greatly missed.

This is yet another brilliant idea from you Rob.  

I am looking forward to seeing which animals are going to be balloonified. Good luck!

I see them as dancers!

I stopped myself from buying one of these!  

That's a great tip Thelma - thank you!

I was thinking that it might be unsteady on the funnel bit. Would there be room enough to add a water/sand weight in the funnel ?

As I haven't tried it this is just me thinking out loud!  

The next Jam is on Tuesday 20th September, THE VENUE HAS CHANGED!

Please see here //https://www.facebook.com/events/124689841320270/

The City of London Balloon Jam - Tuesday September 20th 2016, 4pm - 10pm.

PLEASE NOTE THE CHANGE OF VENUE!!!!!

The September Jam will take place at Pizza Express Bishopsgate (Just around the corner from the old venue and a short walk from Liverpool street station.)

As Management informed me they will be unable to host us every month, this is a temporary change whilst options for a new(?) permanent venue are being reviewed.

We have the UPSTAIRS ROOM reserved for the afternoon. (Stairs are in the back, on the left.)

The room is reserved from 2pm, for those who want to meet early and have a pre-jam lunch.

Hi there,

Have you been listening to the Balloon Artist Podcast? Series Two is now finished and I was delighted to be invited to be on the last very special episode, Chapter 12.

Zivi Kivi (an Israeli balloon artist and kids entertainer) asked me to have a look at his Birthday Party Show for children. So I did, and on the podcast the door is opened and you can listen to me give feedback about his show. Normally any directing is done behind closed doors but Zivi has been courageous and generous enough so you can hear me give detailed constructive feedback for him to improve his show.
 several people have said they found it very useful to help their show too. If you do a children's show perhaps you should take a listen.

But Danny, can we see his show too?  :shock:  Yes you can - just follow the links on the podcast page!

Here is the link for the podcast. //http://www.balloonartistpodcast.com/season-2-chapter-12-danny-schlesinger-comedy-balloons/

You can listen to it by downloading it or you can just listen from the website. Enjoy!  

It looks computer generated to me!  

Thank you Rob for organising another great balloon jam in Portsmouth.

It was great fun to meet old friends and make new ones.  

That was great!
