Love Me. Go On.
Mr Balloon Face is an individual. Balloons are a source of happy occasions, parties and fun. They are colourful, vibrant and joyful – yet at the same time are fragile and easily popped. This makes them a wonderful metaphor of life.
Craving for affection, Mr Balloon Face is filled with innocence and takes comfort from his toys. The toy rocket and teddy are linked together via the target on teddy’s belly, and the hidden meaning behind them is one of self-destruction. Sometimes we are the creators of our own demise.
Stars feature a lot in my work – they represent the fire burning within, the desire to strive for goals and dreams. They are inspired from ‘The Sneetches’ by Dr Suess.

The following is a list of all possible options to purchase an Adventures of Tin Man print, if the print you are wanting is not available in the size or framing option you are looking for please contact us HERE.
Black and White Box Frame: Available in 15x15cm and 30x30cm. A box-edged mounting system where the print sits flush within the wooden frame. The surface is protected by a durable low sheen laminate.
Mat board Print: 18x18cm print mounted in a 28x35.5cm mat board. This mat board is designed to fit in retail picture frames (like ones from Briscoes/The Warehouse) and can be cut to size.
Unframed Prints: Unframed prints are paper prints with a white 0.5cm gap around all edges to allow for framing or you can trim if preferred. Purchasing unframed prints and having them framed in your location is more economic for international shipping.
