"For Masayoshi Matsumoto, also known as Isopresso Balloon, a simple dog-shaped
balloon animal is utter child’s play. His elaborate constructions combine a
range of colors and can take on virtually any shape. From meticulously textured
squids to demure gophers to stout tropical birds, the artist conjures playful
and expressive animals from stretchy rubber and air. Lately, he’s been
particularly interested in birds, expertly twisting beaks and tail feathers
into recognizable species like mallards, swans, and a bright kingfisher.
See more on Instagram, and try your hand at balloon art of your own with a
range of tutorials on YouTube. He’s currently working on a few new videos
geared specifically toward beginner balloon sculptors."
