Description I solemnly swear I am up to no good

A fellow Deviant and I were inspired by the work of Street Artist Joshua Allen Harris. He creates sculptures out of trash bags and duct tape, then attaches them to vents. When the pieces are not inflated it looks like trash, but when the wind blows you get a surprise!

Here is a clip of our first try at doing these inflatable sculptures : [link]

I thought the idea was great too. I'd love to be able to get the same kind of detail that the artist does. Maybe on the second go we'll give it a try

Maybe moving in closer now that you have the establishing shot. Maybe a before and after. Inflated and deflated. It's not an easy subject to photograph...it's one of those "you had to be there" type of things.

Well I was just thinking perhaps he violated (pun intended) building codes...after all, vents where made to vent. They were not designed to have deflated men jump onto them, get aroused and then inflate.

Just think paint one with horizontal white stripes and put it on the vent of the local jail.

Hahah stripes yes..jail vent...er might not be the greatest idea...though it would be funny. Could call it the Great Escape or something of the sort.

It was a funny idea at any rate.Would not want you to end up in Jail.
