I am a Magnificent Balloon Twister that can wow and surprise party goes with the elaborate twists I can make for the Birthday Boy or Girl! Party goers at night will receive Light Up balloons to help brighten up the night. I also offer Face Painting and Caricatures as well! Want a longer lasting sketch to remember the good times you had at an event or would you like to add some flair by expressing yourself through face paint? I would be more than willing to aid the cause!
Came on time, set up and broke down pretty quickly, and decently professional during the event. Maintained conversation with people while drawing the caricatures and was nice. Only thing that keeps it from 5 stars is that he dressed pretty casually, and didnt dress as formally as was requested (which wasnt a huge deal), and not the biggest fan of the art. While caricature art is supposed to exaggerate someone’s features or appearance, the artists style leans more towards unflattering depictions and doesn’t necessarily always capture the individual’s essence.
That being said, he did work reasonably quickly and was overall a great choice of vendor/entertainment for a party!
I booked Twistatures for my Sons 10th birthday. But, this was no ordinary birthday. Mason has Down syndrome and we teamed up with another family to share our special day with the DS community at the Down syndrome association. There were around 70 people at this party at least half with special needs. The gentleman took his time and helped each child to create their caricature and did such an amazing job. He really did a fantastic job creating the balloons and made sure to take care of all requests.

We invited Twistatures to our preschool Spring Fling event. He made amazing balloon creations will be kind, communicative and cheerful. Families were thrilled with how fast he worked and the children were able to make requests for special animals or even hats. Will definitely invite to our next family event!
He was very good with the kids and keeping a conversation going with the guests while he was drawing them. Definitely, awesome and polite! Super grateful he made the drive out to Austin!
He was excellent and very friendly. Everyone enjoyed his talent and all the twisted balloons he made.
A great addition to my kiddo’s 5th birthday party. It was a rainbow art themed party and all were inspired by the artist’s caricatures…my kiddos have been pretending to be artists like this ever since.
The artist arrived on time, set-up quickly, confirmed expectations and was prepared to be flexible as the party unfolded…the caricatures ended-up being so fun, we didn’t even do the face painting or balloon twisting.
The artist was great with the young kids and adults alike, able to engage with all ages and was delightful to have! Highly recommended. Thank you!
Matthew was awesome! Such fun for kids and adults too. He works the crowd very well. Thanks so much!
We asked for holiday themed designs for a corporate party and he pulled through with amazing grinch and penguin and awesome other balloon animals!
Matt was so professional on time and great with the kids. We really enjoyed having him at our event very talented young man.
The children were thrilled with the amazing creativity of Matthew! The balloons were beautiful colors and Mathew folded them into so many amazing designs. He made fabulous pumpkins, cute bats, long leggy skeletons and swords or wands in beautiful colors. Much more! Mathew called me before arrival and assured me that he could handle any weather variation. He was prompt. He was VERY polite and entertaining to the small children, the teenagers and the adults as well! I highly recommend him for your event!
everyone has good comments on your services greatly appreciated
Kind, professional, fun, on time, great attitude! Thanks for your help, hard work, and the joy you brought to our event!
He did so well, very friendly and works well with kids
Matthew was AWESOME! 🎉 He came to our daughter’s bouncy house party and all the kids absolutely loved his balloon art! I’m so glad we booked him for the party and I would highly recommend using him for your party! 🌟
Booked Twistatures for by son's 1st birthday. There were about 16 kids ages 1 to 8 and he did a great job with all of them! He was friendly, efficient and professional. Thank you so much, Matthew!

Twistatures was wonderful and great with the kids!
Twistatures did a wonderful job entertaining the kids and providing awesome balloons for all of our kids at our event.
Super friendly and very crafted at his skill! We had 60 kids in camp that day -all with a twisted balloon and many with caricature drawings!
Definitely will hire him again.
Mathew was the sweetest and so great with all of the children! They loved him and didn’t want him to leave! He was very professional will definitely be booking him for all of my events in the future! Thank you again!
Twistatures was a huge hit at our event! The kids loved their balloon animals, and he was happy to make them!
Kids had a great time and all were able to get their requests fulfilled. Plenty of guests commented on hiring him for their parties.
We were hosting a community event and Twistatures went above and beyond! We will most definitely be bringing him back for our next event!
We had a Community Fall Festival and Matthew did a wonderful job with the balloon twisting. He was kind and generous with the kids! We will call him again next time!

He had so many kids and people wanting balloons and was such a trooper!! He did a great job!!
Response from Twistatures:
Thank you Katieann for being patient with me and allowing me the time to fulfill as many requests as I could that day. It was wonderful to work for you and everyone at The Ridge Marketplace. The pandemic pushed the festival back further than anticipated but I was really set on keeping my word since you booked my services. It was a treat seeing all the Christmas decorations and themed attractions! I would love to come back again and continue providing my services in the future.
Our Party was a hit and Twistatures was the best part!!! The kids watch as Mathew created the amazing caricatures. The parents were very impressed and asked us for information to contact Twistatures. Mathew was great with the kids too!!!
Response from Twistatures:
Thank you Carol for being a splendid and accommodating host! But I don't remember drawing the caricatures unless you meant that for the balloon twists? The kids were fun and excitable and I am glad I was able to answer as many questions as I could manage answering. But also remember, I have an extra "T" in my name for "Triple Troublemaker" Matthew! I hope I can come back and work more parties for your friends and family!

I like to dress casually, in a T-shirt and shorts or with long sleeves and slacks depending on the weather. Though I am not shy about button up white blouses and proper dress slacks if the occasion calls for it indoors.
I bring a trolley tote bag with my supply of party balloons that I work out of that seems nearly bottomless (I promise that it isn't) and I will take a spot properly set for me by the event planner to provide balloons to event attendees, I could also use a table as a barrier so that I will not be swarmed by attendees and not have people cut in line. For the Birthday Boy or Girl I provide an advanced twist balloon while other attendees receive simple balloon twists.
For Caricatures and Face Painting I need at least a small table or table corner for my supplies and at least two chairs set aside for myself and my subject. Attendees are able to look over my shoulder while gawking at the funny drawing I am making of my subject or admire the Tiger's face I am painting on the subject. I bring my own face painting kit and drawing supplies and easel with paper.
Events who request me to perform any or all three activities need to set aside equal time unless they prefer to have one activity be the main focus. Example being that I dedicate 45 minutes to Balloon Twisting and 22 minutes for Caricatures and Face Painting.
Hello everyone! My name is Matthew and I am a local Texas based artist looking to entertain everyone with creative twists, funny faced pictures and funny pictures on faces (i.e. Balloon Twisting, Caricatures and Face Painting)!
I have been making caricatures since 2009 starting off at Six Flags Fiesta Texas and learned how to Twist Balloons and Face Paint starting at 2016, but I feel that balloon twisting is what I do best! I am usually quiet and reserved but would love to engage in conversation with anyone that has shared interests or just willing to converse while I twist up a balloon or two. I might even be able to pull off a hammy joke or two!
If an Outdoor event, proper cooling and shade is required for summer and proper heat needed for winter events.
For events outside of San Antonio I do charge a $50 travel fee up to Kerrville and Georgetown and past that radius the amount increases depending on overnight stay and lodging.
Do not put me near large and loud sound systems. I need to be able to hear attendee requests.
If event is booked for longer than 3 hours, 15 minute breaks are required.
