You may remember the simple balloon animals from birthday parties or when visiting the carnival and how fascinating they were. Even the simplest balloon animals appear difficult to create but one artist in Japan moves balloon art to an entirely new level and his balloon creations are so detailed, they seem to have a life of their own.
25-year-old Masayoshi Matsumoto is possibly the world’s best balloon animal artist and he creates everything from animals to anime to video game characters. To create them, all he uses are his talent and balloons and doesn’t use adhesives or other supplies.
