Incredibly Detailed Balloon Animals By Japanese Artist

ADVERTISEMENT

If you thought balloon animals are simply a fairground novelty, then Japanese artist Masayoshi Matsumoto has some balloon animal art to show you.

Perhaps the most impressive thing about them is that Masayoshi uses only balloons – no tape or markers. Yes, there’s even a way to make those detailed eyes using nothing but balloons! Check out his two Tumblrs as well – one for animal art, and another for characters (which do have some tape and marker embellishments).

There is a beast with heart of cold stone that dashes like lightning, shreds flesh from bone. // Bewitched by this beast, I fell to my knees. My mouth babbled madness and mumbled soft pleas. // I stared down the ravenous, gnashing dark maw of a cute cuddly kitten with yarn in its paw

Impressive! He's very talented. I can't help to admire his work of art though I can't help squirming coz I personally hate balloons, they smell awful.

It is amazing how creativity can turns mundane objects to amazing things. Just stumbled upon Mundane Matters on Instagram. Very similar approach. Just wrote about it on https://www.boredpanda.com/designer-turns-her-instagram-daily-feeds-into-a-visual-wonderland/
