Hello everybody!

I can honestly say that a lot of wonderful things have happened in just these last few weeks I have been given a few new commissions (hopefully they may lead to more potentially you guys can help out as well) and I have made many new friends! I am also now Seasonal at Disney and able to do more stuff with balloon art and keeping in contact with all of the new people i have met! I met so many wonderful balloon artists at the Florida Super Jam and I cannot wait to see more people at the upcoming Cons i will be going to! I also have new oppertunities coming to me with making a new Dinosaur related show coming later this year where I will be teaching kids at conventions, schools and resorts about dinosaurs through the use of puppetry, animation and even a balloon animal or two! I also have many big balloon cosplays planned for this year including a Metal Gear, a colossus from Shadow of the Colossus, Aku from Samuri Jack, Zero from Megaman X and even a character from Zone of Enders! If anyone has not seen it my Balloon ?Solid Snake has offically been made into a meme now [link] and I have a dance video of me in the darkside cosplay! [link]

Well I hope that the rest of this year will be a wonderful year indeed and make sure to watch out because I think I have been seeing a super tall dark shawdowy figure in my room lately... I hope its not Slenderman who is out for $20!

I want to take time to thank you for coming to my page. Hello my name is Bruce Edward Carr and I am “No Ordinary Balloon Man”. There are many mundane balloon twisters who produce the same unoriginal balloons monotonously. With enthusiasm, I am a Balloon Artist. Using my skill and combining my lifelong passion for performing, I transform air and latex into remarkable sculptures for your entertainment. I am able to fabricate a near limitless number of balloons while I amuse patrons with singing, puppetry, impersonations, comical dancing, and educational facts. I love to make people smile; I do so not as an amateur but as a professional with four years of experience working with qualified entertainment companies such as Twisted Artz, Puppet People, and in Savannah, Georgia, the Savannah Community Theatre. Being a professional also means that I am not a liability to my clients; I’m insured by The World Clown Association® and as a Professional, I don’t clown around when it comes to safety. I use Qualitex® Balloons - A high class, environmentally friendly and strong product. As an expert balloon artist I regularly serve a multitude of restaurants, parties, corporate events and I am a proud Disney Cast Member, in which I have been honored with several awards for providing excellence in guest services. My work has also been featured on a host of websites and even nationally on Cartoon Network. I am also cost effective and have parties which can serve any budget, no matter how big or small. If you want an entertainer who will level up your next event from an ordinary occasion into an extraordinary celebration, without breaking the bank, No Ordinary Balloon Man is your balloon man!

I am originally from Savannah, Georgia and I have always had a love of history and entertainment which lead me to attend Armstrong Atlantic State University and graduate Magna Cum Laude with a degree in Theatre. While studying to obtain my degree I honed my skills at entertaining and making people smile with local professional organizations such as the Savannah Community Theatre’s murder mystery show Who Wants to Kill a Millionaire (featured on Samantha Brown), Puppet People (National Touring Puppetry Company), and Silly Dilly the Clown. I even completed an internship called the Disney College Program which guaranteed me a position with the largest entertainment company in the world once I graduated that I still hold today. However, with all the professional jobs and training I have had as an actor, character performer (mascot), puppeteer, and singer, one skill that I have obtained combines all of these skills and has allowed me to make more people smile than I ever thought possible, this talent is being a balloon artist.

As a balloon artist myself, I admire the things you make SO much. You're at a whole different level than most of the twisters I know out here in Los Angeles. I'd kill to learn your pony design.
Very good work

I actually have been wanting to go to Los Angeles to not only visit but try my hands at the balloon art market there so you may see me there in the future! As far as the design goes if you would like me to I can note you and teach you the design or potentially even skype it so that you can use it! Just make sure that you create me with the design because it is one that I came up with! There was a slight modification I did with the legs based on [link] dresign of his rainbow dash that I used with my newest ponies but I made my own style about eight months ago! You can often mix and match styles until you find one that fits you perfectly!

Oh excellent. Let me know if you want to be referred around if you get to town, I have lots of connections in the business.
I would LOVE to do that. However, I only have 160's- it looks like I'll need 360's for the legs, or are they bird body balloons?
I'll have to include which ever they are in my next order.
I hope you get to twist somewhere tomorrow, all of us are so excited because mothers day is always really fun and busy.

I actually had a pretty busy mothers day myself! Although one of the things I am trying to work on is making new balloons that are really fast but actually still look cool! this way I can get more people but still give them quality work! I am always twisting but I want to go restaurants that actually pay the balloon artists and then get tips on top of that! And your DA art is amazing and super cute!!!
