Intricate Balloon Sculptures That Will Blow Your Mind

Ever been wowed watching clowns twist balloons into dachshunds, helmets and swords? Hold your breath and be prepared to be blown away by the work of Japanese artist Masayoshi Matsumoto.

Matsumoto has mastered the art of balloon modelling, twisting and weaving them into elaborate birds, plants, sea creatures, insects and people. Every last detail of the work, including the animals’ beady little eyes, is crafted using balloons – no tape or markers ever used or needed.
