Twistin’ Todd joined astronomer Neil deGrasse Tyson and other special guests on the July 25, 2009 edition of CBS’s “The Early Show”. Todd made Neil a fun balloon space alien floating on a flying saucer holding a laser gun. He also twisted balloon caricatures of the anchors Chris Wragge and Erica Hill, some cute animals for weather anchor Lonnie Quinn, a large hat for the audience, and of course, the CBS unblinking eye.
And of course, a few pictures of the appearance:
Flying Octopus
Posted on August 2, 2003 by todd
The first piloted balloon sculpture flew over Lake Ontario on July 19, 2003. Larry Moss lead a team of world-class balloon artists in building the largest non-round balloon sculpture ever, with a total 18,000-20,000 balloons. Balloon pilot John Ninomiya came from California to fly the sculpture.
I was honored to be a member of this record-setting team. I hope that you enjoy my album of pictures from this historic event.
