Cartoon Balloons
Throughout the world, Kelvin has performed and lectured on his cartoon balloon sculptures. At the 2003 Pacific Coast American of Magician's convention, he earned an award in the K9 balloon Olympics. Watching the speed of all entrants was amazing!
Here are pictures of his creations. The length of the balloon artistry is dependent on the number of people. Usually each client averages about 2 minutes per cartoon character. A character averages between 1 to 7 balloons. Some balloons involve a lot of twisting to show the details of the design. It like a drawing. The more lines you have, the greater the detail.
Kelvin 's balloons are truly amazing and unique. Most of his balloon creations are cartoon designs. He is best known for his tweety bird, spiderman, stitch and seasonal balloons. Scroll down to see more of Kelvin 's balloons!
