The wings give it such a nice texture, and making them is bit of a challenge - which is exactly why I should build them again and again and again. This is also my favorite type of photo, 'balloon animals in the wild'. There's something about putting them in a real environment… ## [August 18 - Rockstar Dawg](https://dailypurplepig.blogspot.com/2026/08/august-18-rockstar-dawg.html) _2026-08-18 · Mason · Daily Purple Pig_ "The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now." ~ Proverb You don't have to be smart to succeed. A book-on-tape on how to be successful in business made an observation that has stuck with me ever since.

I sometimes wonder if he was fated to be a dentist with a name like that. I think the same think about Matt Falloon and balloons. Falloon, as his gym teacher used to call him, is an amazing craftsperson, artist, and all-around cool guy.

I like how the upper wing turned out, but the curve on the lower wing probably needs another attempt or two. I considered using a bunch of puff inflates to outline the wings, but that felt like too much when it was… ## [August 11 - Coffee Dawg](https://dailypurplepig.blogspot.com/2026/08/august-11-coffee-dawg.html) _2026-08-11 · Mason · Daily Purple Pig_ "Hell is - other people!" ~ Jean-Paul Sartre, No Exit Sartre was not simply saying other people were awful. He was talking about how being observed by others changes the way we see ourselves. Imagine you are alone in an elevator. You're not particularly thinking about anything - just leaning against the wall, picking at the crumbs on your shirt, quietly humming the song that's stuck in your head.… ## [August 10 - The Harvest Dancer](https://dailypurplepig.blogspot.com/2026/08/august-10-harvest-dancer.html) _2026-08-10 · Mason · Daily Purple Pig_ Mushrooms don't grow simply because of the rain. Every autumn, when the rains have softened the earth, the Harvest Dancer returns. With each pirouette, hidden threads beneath the soil awaken.
