If the balloon world had a rookie of the year award, Dan would have been a recent contender. Not one to waste time, he has built a reputation and a business in less than three years. His no nonsense big personality, quality work, and old fashioned hustle combine to make him a force to be reckoned with. Hang out with us for a while. We promise you won’t get bottled.

Dan has tutorials for sale at his website. Dans Balloons. There are also galleries of his work, including the Squidbillies he did for Adult Swim on Cartoon Network. (Granny is my favorite.)

Congrats to the Kapital Kidvention on their record-breaking Deal Day, with over 300 signups for the January event. Looks like Air Weaver will be part of the fun in 2017.

And because I can’t resist…
