Arches, Drops & Races
When a client asks for Turquoise Balloons it usually means 6 possible options. In the Qualatex range there’s Caribbean Blue, Robins Egg Blue (who’s Robin and why are his eggs Blue?) and Tropical Teal. There’s even a Pearl Teal which is a mad dark green which gets even more confusing. In the Belbal range there’s […]
Here’s yesterdays installation at Sadler’s Wells Theatre for The Red Shoes. Again we inflated & bunched 800 balloons, with 10am access we were finished for 12.30. As the balloons needed to last until midnight I printed them on Qualatex which were also kinder on the fingers.
Yesterday I was back at the Prince of Wales theatre in Leicester Square for the Half a Sixpence launch party. With a team of 2 we started at 10am and had 80 bouquets of 10 in place for 3pm. Excellent 2 colour print on these – that’s a real photo above, it’s not superimposed.
Dentsu Aegis have a day of Halloween fun for staff and kids and we were invited to decorate the area and create something spooky. We arrived at 5am and had everything in place for 8.30am. Here’s a previous installation at the same building & here’s the 2017 Monsters theme.
Coca-Cola contacted me and asked for Round shaped balloons. My first thought was a 36″ as anything smaller is usually pear shaped. They didn’t want anything as big as a 36″ and required Silver Orbz Balloons so I sent them an inflated sample of a 24″ Orbz. They loved the sample and explained they were […]

This was to celebrate their 30th anniversary, I was at college 30 years ago on Charing Cross Road and I remember all the London Buses covered in the Phantom branding. Phantom is playing at Her Majestys […]
Here’s my reference library images that I can link to from other posts. This includes a gallery, video and recent tweets.
Hi David Thank you so much for the information. Our balloons started on Thursday so have 4 days to go. The kids and adults are really enjoying this PTA event. We were totally blown away by the support from the families in the school and this event has raised over £1200. We decided not to […]
I’m always looking to add a little extra health and safety where we can. You can never do too much so on a couple of indoor events recently I’ve been using this hazard tape to clearly mark out the base plates.Health & Safety needs to be embraced so I feel each time I add a […]
Full story: Herne Bay Plane Crash Part of The Turbulent Display Team’s routine involves popping balloons during breath-taking manoeuvres. An AAIB spokesman confirmed: “The possibility that the engine power loss was as a result of ingesting a fragment of balloon following a balloon bursting display is just one of the aspects being considered by investigation.
Pop Goes Balloon Art Why do grownups still go crazy for balloons? Is it a product of the human subconscious, a desire to return to the carefree state of childhood?
10 Injured Ten people were injured at a mall in Orlando, Florida, after shoppers mistook the sound of popping balloons for gunshots. Since switching to building arches with frames I return each time to burst the balloons. I’m more aware than every that when I start this process it can cause a bit of a […]
