Nobody to play with

This is Sergeant Ice, the second model, who saved my bacon as a stand-in in Italy.

The black balloon was for a completely different outdoor idea I had, and I spent considerable time sourcing Helium in Italy to make it happen.

And when the time came to actually shoot it, it was raining.🤷‍♂️
So we ended up creating this image instead, and I actually quite like that.

My original idea might still come to fruition someday (when it's not raining).
