May 8 - Jooe Style

“A mask tells us more than a face.”

~ Oscar Wilde

Giuseppe "Jooe Style" Scalici is a talented balloon artist from Luxembourg who won the Q Corner 12-minute contest by making a face similar to this, and then offered to show everyone how to do it.

The face itself is derivative of the first Phileas Flash faces (he mentioned), but uses a different central structure that gives an unusual and nice shape to work with.

He also taught the lesson in three languages (four if you count the universal language of balloons) - impressive!

This was a fun form to work with, since this was what he demonstrated, I wanted to keep playing around with the concept instead of getting lost making bodies.
