June 5 - Stoplight


On a traffic light green means 'go' and yellow means 'yield', but on a banana it's just the opposite. Green means 'hold on,' yellow means 'go ahead,' and red means, 'where the hell did you get that banana at?'

This design is from Christopher Lyle's download Clockwork Yellow, which at some point should be available on balloon-animals.com but for now you can contact him directly to purchase.

I usually bring something into work on Monday morning, and it's Sunday and I have no idea what to build.  Cut to - Clockwork Yellow, an assortment of awesome balloon oddities ranging from the everyday balloon requests with a Lyle-spin on them, the the completely bizarre (again with the Lyle spin on them).

Oftentimes balloon art is focused on the figure, a realistic or representational interpretation of form.  Some of the best balloon art goes beyond that and tells a story.  This is a perfect example - it's not just a stoplight,  It's anthropomorphic, holding a stop sign.  Why?  Well that's up to your imagination!

I gave him a whistle.  Why?  Well that's up to your imagination too!
