Balloon Boy - Resubmittedby ~GenerallySpeaking

Traditional Art / Drawings / Illustration / Conceptual

This is in my GSA 2011 sketchbook. I was running out of ideas, when my friend suggested that I draw someone hanging on balloons. So, Voila! I actually have not done this style of art before, so I am very happy with it.

The strangest coincidence, though, is that a few days later, I saw a video clip in an art museum of a boy floating with colorful balloons in the sky above a city... Guess I am not that original...

But I also added the quote from Dr. Seuss!

*Note: I was trying to make changes to the other deviation, but Deviantart was being really glitchy and annoying so I just submitted it AGAIN and deleted the previous one. My apologies if this bothers people.

It's still amazing! RE-added to my Seuss favorites

oh!! that video clip is probably from the movie "le ballon rouge" ("the red balloon"). it has no dialogue and it's notorious for winning a prestigious movie award.

it's so amazing!

You found it?? That's amazing!!!! It was such a crazy coincidence. I have to tell the person who told me to draw this. Haha.

no, we watched it in french class. i figured it had to be what you saw because it's such a famous movie

it's so good, you should watch it sometime! <3

I don't speak french though...

~rosesakura921 Sep 20, 2011 Student Traditional Artist

no dialogue

~GenerallySpeaking Sep 21, 2011 Student Traditional Artist

o.O I might check it out sometime. Thing is, I don't know how. Do I rent it? I no longer have Netflix for the sake of schoolwork...

~rosesakura921 Sep 23, 2011 Student Traditional Artist

maybe over break! 0: perhaps it's on youtube? i haven't checked. (i would search "le ballon rouge" before "the red balloon" because there's an american movie with the same name with dialogue)
