First off, I wish to thank this forum as I used the interview a balloon artist to figure out some information to throw at the reporter prior to our interview.  The reporter wanted to interview me at a twisting event, so I wanted to make sure if I was distracted, that the reporter would still leave with some great information no matter what.  The interview a balloon artist questions helped and the reporter greatly appreciated it.  So, thank you very much for that element of this forum!

So...  the newspaper article was actually quite flattering to me.  I never expected a large story, but when I got the newspaper to my shock and amazement, the article took up 3/4ths of the Lifestyles page (the second section into the paper).  1/3rd of the front page was a massive picture of me twisting for a child (as a friend said --- your lifesize in a newspaper!)!  The report was actually continued into a small area on the second page.  The funny part is they used a picture of mine for the second page, so as such, doesn't this mean I am now a published photographer!?!    

Anyways, enough of my excited chatter --- here is the article link:  //http://helenair.com/lifestyles/article_ec17b32a-6c93-11e0-a48c-001cc4c03286.html

Oh --- and apparently I go by Mister Twister!  I didn't know this, but it sure is a catchy name!  I like that better than the generic balloon guy.   :lol: I think I might end up adopting this name unless I can figure out something better.  

Thanks again -- -and enough blabbering.  I have been running non-stop all day and enjoying the celebrity status.

That's a great review of you and your work...

You are welcome to be happy about it.

Great article!  Congratulations!

Well done!!  Great to get that amount of exposure!
Hope it turns into some work for you
