Masayoshi Matsumoto Meticulously Transforms Balloons into Expressive Critters

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.
