# About me
I am never quite sure what to write in these things ... but ummm here goes ...I not clown ... I may dress funny (but thats a matter of opinion ... I think everyone else dresses funny)
...but I don't do stupid clown stuff or have crazy (white face) make up (it creeps me out ... completely)
I am a lover of all forms of craft, but especially balloon art, which likely makes up 95% of the gallery here.
I am also responsible for the alphabet game ... and plan on starting a new one soon ... for more information please check out my journal.
If you think there is something I haven't made out of balloons that you would love to see made, why not drop me a note, while I don't do commission as such (unless I happen to be in the same country as you), I do create instructional tutorials and trade pictures of things that are custom created with other people on
If you ever get the chance to see a street show, I recommend you take it, as everyone is always different, no matter how similar they seem, as it is people like you who help to make them different, and always remember even if you can't afford to give a tip to the performer at least shake his hand and tell him you enjoyed the show it will make it all worthwhile!
Current Residence: Currently in Dublin, Ireland

Print preference: serif fonts
Favourite genre of music: Eclectic

Personal Quote: if it wasn't for gravity ...... jugglers would just throw up

Goodbye DeviantArt:Goodbye DeviantArt:
I have had a very good run here of over 11 years. They were good times. You folks have been there to get me through some of the hardest times of my life.
You were there when I felt lost and alone over losing my job as an illustrator because we were just not needed anymore. You gave me a home of sorts when no one else would.
Six months later when the same newspaper decided that they no longer needed me as a photographer either and laid me off you were there.
When I found out that my wife was dying a very slow and painful death, you were there. As a healthcare provider you were often my only respite. In dark times you brought joy into my life.
When Joanne passed away you were there to help me remember what G.K. Chesterton once said. βFairy tales do not tell children the dragons exist. Children already know that dragons exist. Fairy tales tell children the dragons can be killed.β I have found wisdom in even the youngest of you time and time again. :thumb721
