D.Billy Makes Graffiti with Balloons, Streamers, and Colorful Tape

When you think of graffiti, what comes to mind? Most people think of spray paint, latex gloves, or paper D.Billy Balloon Graffiti RRRINGstencils. Well, think again. Street artist D.Billy has totally revolutionized everything you thought you knew about graffiti. Using long party balloons, streamers, and colorful tape, D.Billy (aka David William) creates mesmerizing three-dimensional art.

On D.Billy’s website, he states that

…this process encourages a re-examination of surroundings and objects that are usually taken for granted, and injects a hint of the fantastical surreality that I have established in my other work. Or, at the very least, I hope someone thinks these things are kind of funny.
D.Billy has been involved in the Washington, D.C. art scene for about 4 years. Currently he works as a graphic designer and production artist for DC-based independent clothing designer Jon Wye, among other things.
