Inflated/Deflated: Balloons Speak Out

I’ve always loved this trick: inflate a balloon, pinch it shut, then doodle with a black marker and deflate. The lines left are incredibly thick and yet detailed, impossible to pull off if drawing at scale.

Three Chicago-based creatives have taken the approach, and depicted the art from the perspective of the not-currently filled balloon. Great stuff.
