I've been getting a lot of love from happy clients lately... here's one of my favorites sent to me by his mother yesterday:

"Felix Goodmann age 3 when he never forgot the name Chad the Not So Bad!"

Felix is going to have me at his 6 year old birthday party in July! I'm so excited to see one of my biggest fans again!!!

HELP please:

Two years ago I was working at the Coralville Farmer's Market and this picture was taken. I'm trying to find out who's pic it is to ask their permission to use it in an ad I'm running.... If you know this person, or the woman I believe to be her mother, please PM me their contact info.

WARNING: These pics are super cute! ;-)

Last weekend I was asked to deliver a treble clef out of balloons to a chamber of commerce member's 90 year old mother. She asked me to "make a splash" at the retirement home where she lives. The night before the gig, I came up with a fun idea to create lots of other music iconography out of balloons and work them into my "splash" presentation. The delivery went really smoothly and was a ton of fun... here's what the customer and then her mother sent me tonight:

"My mother has talked of nothing else since her birthday balloon delivery from IC Balloons. Chad Johnson appeared like a circus ringmaster, calling attention to the ceremony in front of a large number of diners in the dining room. Very customized, clever and cheerful presentation that absolutely thrilled my mom! I highly recommend Chad for any sort of occasion where artful fun is a requisite!" Deborah Mulford

"At my recent 90th birhday luncheon, we were all entertained by Chad. He pulled out a collection of small balloons that he had shaped into musical notations. Very clever narative to go with it. In my case it was highlighting my background in music. He ended with an amazing sculpture. Very fun and enjoyed by all." Amy Mulford

Every once in a while a colleague does something amazing to show that you are in their thoughts... John Watkins, from http://www.balloonartworld.com/, while traveling the world making amazing balloons, took a moment, in a scenic location, to send me some love.... I'm thrilled and excited to share this testimonial with you:

Here's a video of our working Angry Birds slingshot. Special thanks to David Mahoney for teaching me how to build framing! It really paid off on this project.
