Balloon Boy is a hand-pulled screen print with delicate laid gold leaf detail on 310 gsm acid-free Tan paper by DONK. From a limited edition of 50, this piece is signed and numbered by the artist. "The image explores darkness within childhood, that the two things are not - mutually exclusive, and in a metaphorical way perhaps suggest that life is a constant balance of light and dark through which we all navigate."

We love the way their images are inhabited by their family and friends with powerful themes such as vulnerability, human strength, and the passage of time, appealing to our collective senses and shared human experience. Donk remixes elements of urban culture and history to create accessible artworks in which he hopes to communicate “something sincere but ultimately entertaining.” Drawing inspiration from storybooks, he often alludes to the process of growing up. A further source of inspiration is his experience into fatherhood, with his son as a familiar subject in his artwork. We’ve been working with Donk since 2015.
We love the way Donk's artworks appeal to our collective senses and shared human experience. His street art explores themes such as vulnerability, human strength, and the passage of time, appealing to our collective senses and shared human experience. Whether it be a hand, a holy figure or an eye, Donk's subject matter is intriguing, a direct contract to the bold and sharp lines of the graffiti he lays over his compositions.
What is a limited edition?
So you’ve found your perfect limited edition artwork, but what does this actually mean? Limited editions are original artworks that an artist creates in a particular print medium, such as a giclée print, screen print or photograph. Our limited edition artworks are specifically created by our talented artists with a maximum edition number in mind. The term ‘limited edition’ refers to the total number of artworks that are available for that particular piece. The edition size can vary widely between artworks, however most of the time our artists create editions in small numbers ranging from 10 to a few hundred.
What is Archival Giclée
Giclée (/ʒiːˈkleɪ/ zhee-KLAY) is a neologism, ultimately derived from the French word gicleur, coined in 1991 by printmaker Jack Duganne for fine art digital prints made using inkjet printers. The name was originally applied to fine art prints created on a modified Iris printer in a process invented in the late 1980s. It has since been used widely to mean any fine-art printing, usually archival, printed by inkjet. It is often used by artists, galleries, and print shops for their high quality printing, but is also used generically for art printing of any quality.
