The official invitation
Join us Friday August 6, 2010 6-9pm at the brand-spankin’ new Airigami studio!
Come celebrate our very first First Friday at the Hungerford Building and enjoy:

A retrospective of amazing past works and concepts by Larry Moss including the Fantastic Flying Octopus, Balloon Manor and Elastic Park.
Selections from his new Master Works series and sculptures [...]

I had a meeting a few days ago about a potential project this summer. I have meetings about potential projects all the time. What made this one interesting was that we didn’t talk so much about what we’d create, but about how to be creative. This would be for the employees at an [...]

I started a new project. No, not an installation. At least, that’s not the one on my mind right now. I decided it was time to produce a book about my past projects. I keep thinking about all the places I’ve traveled, the people I’ve met, and the things I’ve done and I realize I [...]

It was at least a year ago when viral email, filled with photos of balloon dresses, traveled across the Internet. It was fun to see the public getting excited over balloon artwork. (It would have been much nicer if the designers were credited in that email, but that’s a topic for another time.) There was [...]

Many of you have already heard the sad news. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to pull together the funds needed to bring the 2009 Balloon Manor to fruition. It was a valiant effort on the part of many of you out there that called me with suggestions, leads, and  financial contributions. (As promised, all money sent [...]

It was probably 15 years ago when I made my first Halloween costume entirely out of balloons.  At the time, I was focusing on magic.  I was still using balloons largely to enhance my magic shows and I was starting to explore balloons on their own.  At the time, even though I was experimenting with [...]

Entertaining at the White House was every bit as interesting an experience as I had expected. I had plenty of stories the first time I worked a White House event a few years ago. This one, involving a brand new administration and a completely different kind of event was sure to have it’s own tales. [...]

I thought about naming this something like, “Blowing up the White House” or “White House Anticipates More Inflation”, but I thought either of those might result in my invitation being revoked. July 4 is around the corner, and with it lots of Independence Day celebrations. I got a call from Todd Neufeld from the Twisted [...]

At the Henrietta, NY Relay for Life, many groups settled in and pitched their tents for the overnight walk. Kelly Cheatle, Karyn Dolan and I did the same.  Of course, as you can imagine, the tent we pitched was a bit different than most. The weather started out just fine for an outdoor event, but [...]

Everyone has been hit hard by the current state of the economy.  Unfortunately, Balloon Manor is also being affected. Even as I received the great news that I’ll be installing a sculpture on the White House lawn for a July 4 celebration, I’ve been reminded that not everything is going as well as it could [...]
