August 18 - Baby Astronaut


Ground Control to Major Tom
Ground Control to Major Tom
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on
Ground Control to Major Tom
(ten, nine, eight, seven, six)
Commencing countdown, engines on
(five, four, three)
Check ignition and may God's love be with you
(two, one, liftoff)

~ David Bowie Space Oddity

This baby astronaut is something that Christopher Lyle posted online to help someone with a request.

I both like and don't like printed rounds. Some are fantastic and useful, but there has been such an onslaught of them in the past year that I feel in some ways they "dumb down" balloon creations to a generic body with a head blapped on. I'm not a professional balloon artist, so I can't speak to the need for speed when you have a big line of people waiting for you, but some of these designs have been so simple that I wonder what they would actually save you vs. the cost of storing/locating these in your kit.

This baby face, designed by Juan Gonzales is kind of the exception to the rule - though it's simple, it is just so versatile. For that matter - I think baby faces should be the second concept for this month.
