Grogu Parade Giant Balloon

"I would like to see the baby"

Collaborating with multiple illustrious partners: Funko, Lucasfilm and Disney I took part in bringing one of Star Wars' most beloved characters to the skies of NYC. I had the opportunity of developing creative strategies to adapt one of Henson's studios most complex puppets to a giant Macy's Parade baloon involving texture choices, paint patterns, pantones, chamber designation, articulation and countless other aesthetic and technical considerations.
