Mike’s Balloon Creations

His appearance was unassuming as he slipped into our high school’s 10 year reunion (full disclosure: Mike and I went to the same local high school, but aren’t acquainted beyond name recognition). The craft takes very little equipment, so Mike travels with little more than a small briefcase filled mostly with balloons.
Setting the case down on the edge of a table, he struck up a conversation and I turned to continue catching up with some others.
Perhaps half an hour went by and I noticed a 2′ or 3′ balloon monkey, climbing a balloon palm tree, with balloon bananas, being carried around the room. Then, a balloon Spiderman (…with a balloon web) appeared. After that came a balloon Cookie Monster (complete with a balloon chocolate chip cookie in one hand). A balloon Cardinals player. A balloon Mario…
As the night went on, a host of animals, aliens and other sculptures appeared. Most were completely kid-​friendly, but the repertoire included a few adult-​themed items too including balloon steins overflowing with balloon suds. Watching him twist, break and sculpt, creating with only balloons and a marker, is entertaining and the results are unique, whimsical and fun. It’s low-​key and immensely impressive at the same time.
Who wouldn’t be entertained?
Note: The business also goes by the name Way Cool Balloons and makes regular appearances around town.

I’ve met Mike twice now and both times I have been BLOWN AWAY (pun intended). He is a true artist and really loves his craft… and it shows! He is also very good w/​kids as well as adults. Check out his site!

Mike is amazing!!! He is at the Krieger’s Chesterfield Sports Bar and Grill every 1^st and 3^rd Thursday of the month so if you want to check him out before you book him for a party come up to Kriegers and see for yourself!!!
