Balloon Tardis

In a remarkable feat of balloon twistery, Twisty Kristy made this full-sized balloon Tardis for eAtomic Comics at Chandler Fashion Square Mall.

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

Old photo? I thought all Atomic Comics went out of business last month..

  You’ve not had much experience with time machines, have you?

  It does seem that the blog post was from July, and Atomic closed up business in August – still, it’s a pretty awesome Tardis

All that effort and then a hastily scrawled ‘Police Box’! That’s the danger of writing on balloons I guess :) Very cool, tho’.
