Jeremy Telford built the world's largest balloon sculpture. But that's only one of the impressive things he has done with balloons. He's recreated the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, numerous Marvel characters, Van Gogh's Starry Night, and Stranger Things' Demogorgon...all with just balloons.

My company hired him to make balloon sculptures for a couple of Make-A-Wish foundation parties for sick kids. He spent hours building things, but he refused to take any money for it because it was for the kids. This guy is seriously cool.

Think about this too, you can have an architect, engineer and a construction foreman create a magnificent building right? But who finishes the building? Who adds the right chandelier to the lobby or the right chair to the office? A designer! Someone who uses art and design to finish a building! you are absolutely right in that the world would not be the same without artists.

This guy is so talented and also really kind and thoughtful -- what a badass artist. I never knew balloon sculpting existed on this level
This man has so much patience
I totally want one of those balloon suits!!! Never knew anything like that even existed!!! What a remarkable talent he has!!! Yeah and cheers and bravo!!! Nice show and he is still relatively young, just imagine how far he will go developing his art/craft in years to come!!! Perhaps an entire balloon city or theme park? Thanks for the joy you have brought to me this day!
This guy looks super genuine and loves what he does. That's awesome.
This guy is genuinely talented and more importantly genuinely likable. It's a good combination for an artist.
