Nyan Balloon
Nyan Balloon is a character I personally created back in October 2011 that was originally meant to serve as a backstory to a certain space cat. Ultimately, I felt this idea should be unique to the person that imagines it. This piece has been digitally remastered for 2023 and I hope it's enjoyed by art enjoyyorrss around the world 🎈
The Nyan Balloon Color Station is now LIVE!
Through the week of 1/23/2023-1/28/2023 you'll have the option to exchange your Red Nyan Balloon for a new color. A new Nyan Balloon color will appear every day. After 24 hours the color is sealed, and a new color will take its place.
