       art. Citadel Press, 1996. 
520    The easiest-to-follow and most comprehensive balloon-
       sculpting treasury available, this amazing book is packed 
       with over 100 unique designs. Gerry Giovinco presents step
       -by-step cartoons and schematics that anyone can use to 
       recreate these sculptures. You can start out small with a 
       one-balloon dog and a princess hat and build up to a 
       monkey in a tree, an intricate motorcycle, and 
       reproductions of classic cartoon characters. Gerry clearly
       explains and shows the sizes of the bubbles you'll need to
       make as you build your sculpture from the knot up, and he 
       demonstrates the unique folds and twists that result in 
       finished works of art and instant smiles. Gerry Giovinco 
       is an acclaimed artist, cartoonist, and entertainer. In 
       his clown persona, Captain Visual, he performs and teaches
       the craft of balloon sculpting throughout the country. The
       Big Book of Balloon Art is simple enough for kids, and 
       it's great for parents and teachers too. Even seasoned 
       performers will find it a practical and fun-filled way to 
       improve their skills.
