Vinspired: The Balloon Man

This is a series of shirts inspired by my recent trip to Vietnam. Here a balloon-seller waits for his next customer to stop by on the busy streets of Hanoi. The way he was standing made for a good pose and was a nice balance to the endless motion on the old quarter streets.

Upcoming:
In addition to this "Vinspired" series, there will be another one called "Please Be True"- a series of slogan tees calling out for responsible behaviour in relationships. "Being true" to our loved ones and ourselves has taken a beating recently with all the high-profile revelations about extra-marital affairs. However, these issues also affect us much closer to home and can cause massive amounts of hurt. Also inspired in part by the song "fly me to the moon" by Frank Sinatra (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCW9Hey6IVY).
