A Japanese artist is making a name for himself by creating animal sculptures out of balloons. Masayoshi Matsumoto, 29, has thus far created a wide range of intricate figures from the animal kingdom. He uses different colors, textures and even deflated balloons (to mimic aspects of animal anatomy) and uses no markers or adhesives. Here: Parrot by Masayoshi Matsumoto.
