D.Billy’s Balloon Street Art

By Dan Gould on July 14, 2008

Modern street art has existed long enough for it to acquire a standard look. It’s easy to gloss over and ignore much of it when the subject matter and medium stagnate. There are the classics: stencils, stickers, wheat pasting. Thankfully, once in a while someone comes along and does something really different. Artist D. Billy is one of them. Taking a page from clowns and birthday parties, he’s creates balloon graffiti sculptures that visualize sounds and ideas in the urban environment. I’m sure D.Billy is loved by clean up crews for how easy these are to take down.
