Question and answer
Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A. When booking an entertainer you need to find out how professional they are. Do they use contracts or booking agreements? Are they insured? Are they just a dog and sword balloon twister, or are they a balloon artist and entertainer? Do they have a web site with an online portfolio where you can see examples of their work?
Q. Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?
A. Stretch the Balloon Dude is an internationally know balloon artist and teacher. He has taught at multiple, major balloon conventions and was recently awarded the prestigious David Grist Memorial Award at Twist & Shout 2011 in Boston, MA. This award is given out to one balloon artist each year in recognition of their generosity and willingness to share and give back to the balloon community.
Q. What do you like most about your job?
A. We love our jobs as children's entertainers because every time we go to work we are going to a party, festival, picnic or some other fun event where people of all ages will be lining to enjoy our beautiful art.
Q. What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A. How long have you been doing this? My answer, "Since I started."
Q. Tell us about a recent job you did that you are particularly proud of.
A. In October of 2011 I spent 3 days working with a group of top level balloon artists building jumbo sculptures for a Beatles themed corporate event. My son and I built an 8 foot by 12 foot montage that contained over 20 smaller sculptures, each representing a specific Beatles song. It was about 12 feet tall and was a blast to build. Check it out on my web site at http://stretchc.com.
Q. Do you do any sort of continuing education to stay up on the latest developments in your field?
A. I'm always experimenting and playing with new ideas. On top of that we host a regular balloon jam where we get together with other artists to share ideas. I also regularly attend and teach at international balloon conventions and seminars across the United States. In 2005 I started producing educational DVDs that teach other artists how to twist balloons. I now have over 20 titles that are sold internationally.
