The Balloon Bouquet: Cody by Frisky Frolic


'That big bubble butt of his...'


While I was scrolling through JayBee's (Frisky Frolic) portfolio for the Super Bowl post, I saw an image of Cody holding a blue balloon.   I'd seen that specific image previously, but it was the only shot of Cody with balloons that I'd seen.  I of course had to ask if there were more.  As you can see, there were!  This series has not been seen before, and I'm grateful to Jaybee for digging into his archives to share them with the site.


I love visuals of the male form with balloons.  Maybe it's the kid in me, but I love the pops of color and what a creative and versatile prop they can be.  In additions to adding color, they can also both at to cover a model's body, (or body part) and also as a unique backdrop.  I think I also love the connection between balloons with parties, with fun and with celebration.  Given FH is a celebration of the male form, they make a perfect accompaniment, especially when shot by an artist with the imaginative creativity of Frisky Frolic. 


When it comes to imagery of the male form, one of the elements that draws me in is storytelling.  JayBee always manages to tell such relatable stories through his work.  For me, JayBee's visuals always manage to evoke not just memories but a very specific state of mind. Sadly we tend to s lose that 'Christmas morning' sense of excitement, especially when grown-up responsibilities take over.  Jaybee manages to evoke that  childlike magic we all felt when we were younger.
