“I hate Mondays.”

~ Garfield

This is my attempt at making Nao Osaka's Garfield.

I believe I may have jumped down the wrong rabbit hole on this one.  Instead of trying to channel Nao's style, I tried to copy the way he created this form. 

He did a fantastic job, the way he gets the balloons to wrap around and form the main face structure caused me to scrap and try over and over again, popping and creating a Frankenstein-ish mess.  I started fresh after a number of attempts and made this one, but I'm still not 100% satisfied with how it ended up.

Nao truly is a master of capturing form with balloons.
