It is through this mysterious power that we too have our being, and we therefore yield to our neighbors, even to our animal neighbors, the same right as ourselves to inhabit this vast land.

This bull is the next in the Eric Weinstein Sweet Cheeks line of creations. I've probably overdone the amount of sweet cheeks I've shown on here, but it really just speaks to the versatility of the concept and darn it if it's not a great one!
I was there when he created this in the jam room at Bling Bling and knew it was destined to be a hit. The body, though similar to the hippo, does a number of things differently. That's one of the things I really like about balloon concepts that are explored so well - it really gives you a lot of possibilities of how you might play with changing the form around.
Although this was initially designed to be a bull, it was Billy Damon's suggestion that it could easily be a Chicago Bull mascot -- brilliant! After building the according to the video, I tried playing around using different muzzle colors and building a normal bull to see how it would compare. I think the normal bull looks great with a lighter muzzle, but I'm not sure it's necessary for Benny the Bull - the basketball is more of a focal point.
