McKelvey has created four winning posters for the Temecula Valley Balloon & Wine Festival. His first was a pastel pencil of a balloon cluster designed to look like a bunch of grapes flying over Lake Skinner. He also created the 25th anniversary souvenir poster and now with this rendition of the evening balloon glow, McKelvey’s creation becomes the first to show off the colors of the Festival’s evening showcase.
“I wanted to develop a different look and feel for the poster,” stated Shawn McKelvey on his winning design. “The night scene was a great way to bring out the colors of the balloons.”
Since 1988, Shawn has been a freelance illustrator for the toy, entertainment and advertising industries. He’s created game board or product illustrations for Harry Potter, the Game of Life and Whac-a-mole. For the last 10 years Shawn has focused on landscape painting and is represented by the Pinnell Gallery in Fallbrook.
