Just the FAQS
What is the daily purple pig?
This website built as an attempt to both inspire and better myself as an artist.
I don't do balloon art professionally, many of the things I've learned I've only built once for my own amusement. This website gives me a place to try hard, to make things look their best and push myself to be better, without feeling like I'm flooding people on Facebook.
What do you build here?
Anything? I have accrued a number of balloon designs from PDFs and DVDs and webinars and Youtube and jams/conventions and magazines, I have folders of folders of inspiration images. I am happy to build something cutesy, but I suppose I prefer to build something that is a little more off the beaten path of balloon art. Ugly balloons for terrible children, there has to be a market.
Do you have any rules?
No, and if I did I would reserve the right to break them for any reason I see fit. But, I do try to build things a few times at least (depending on complexity), and of course, the purple pig must appear once in every post. I have let that one slide some ....
What is the purple pig?
The Purple Pig is a holy relic first exposed by the Balloon Blast Show. In much the same way as one would rub the belly of a Buddah, or pull the cord of Spongebob's holy conch shell, a balloon artist of certain faith gives squeeze at the beginning of a balloon session for luck, squeeze-squeeze whenever in need of divine inspiration, and when feeling frustrated, squeeze-squeeze-squeeze-squeeze-squeeze-squeeze-squeeze.
What is the Balloon Blast Show?
Balloon Blast is a YouTube show created by Scott Tripp, with a later addition of Sam Cremeens. I think Scott Tripp is probably one of the coolest, most creative, obsessed balloon nerds out there.. The tagline for his show is "Let's Improve our Art", and he does so with mucho gusto. Most episodes involve some sort of bizarre hijinks; Mento's & Diet Coke in a balloon, homemade latex, balloons used in unusual ways, things to make out of leftover nozzles.
Who would they be as Muppets?
Sam Cremeens would be Professor Honeydew, and Scott Tripp would be the Great Gonzo.
Am I a man, or am I a muppet?
If I'm a man, then I'm a muppet of a man.

Are you for hire?
No. But I'm flattered for the consideration. That's a soft "no" -- I can be won over by a cause I suppose, but I'm woke AF so make it a good one because I have a hard time not spending like 10x the hours I originally budget.
