I always enjoy his artistic endeavors and I’m sure you will too! Alan Merrill Musician/Composer – Author of I Love Rock n RollPeter Pereira is a unique and creative storyteller. His accidental tourist drawings of everyday experiences are original hybrids of photography, drawing, painting, and presented within the idiom of comics. While collaborating with Peter on a series of stop motion animation stills from my series of Alice in Dystopia, the artistic dialogue between us and our works was a very rewarding experience. Jeanne Jaffe – Professor Emeritus in Fine Arts from University of the Arts in Philadelphia -Director of International Programs at the Jaffe Center for Book Arts Peter is a good soul! He’s both fun and funny and I find him and his Cartoon Universe to be irreverent and relevant all at the same comic time!!Franne Lee – an Obie and Tony Awardee with an Emmy for creating the iconic looks of such SNL characters as the Bees, and the Coneheads, An amusing collection of New York City moments diversely illuminated by a multi- talented author. I especially enjoyed the areas that focused on the Upper East Side. It was fun to see familiar locales and neighborhood characters. David H. Reuss Treasurer – New York Society of IllustratorsPeter Pereira’s cartoons and photoons show that magic that is all around us but that we often don’t recognize or acknowledge, filtered through Pereira’s sensitive eye. It is a heightened reality that makes the normal extraordinary.– David KorenFounder, FIGMENT Arts New York and International’Cartoons’ doesn’t do Peter’s ingenious artwork justice. Eye-catching and on point, he decries how animals are being exploited—from giraffes killed for sport to fish dying on pet-store shelves—and turns a light on our kinship with all of them. It’s true: A picture is worth a thousand words. Ingrid Newkirk/Tracy Reitman PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals)The Easter Eggs never cease!
