Idn't it Special?

Take a sneak peek at some images I created a few years ago for an innovative company that I have yet to start. (Notice how secretive I'm being about the specifics?) I'm telling you, this baby's going to blow all y'all away when I get it rolling!! In the mean time, enjoy the drawings.

I've been getting a lot of great feedback for my original style in pavement art, but I'm still learning about strategy in getting money.
You wouldn't think there's a lot of strategy to it, other than putting out a hat, but there is.

I'll learn to charm those pennies out of their pockets soon enough.

I only had one day to complete this baby before my Ottawa International Animation Festival pass kicked in, so I worked myself a little too hard. It was great self-promotion though, throughout the fest. I had an incredible "best of both worlds" time.

Rachel Peters can also provide dynamic, entertaining and fun artwork on other subjects your festival might want highlighted, as well as impromptu craziness derived from her own head.
Keep checking in to see where Rachel will be performing chalk this summer!

While I've been recovering from Flash-induced tendinitis I've discovered that I can still safely strain my tendons in other ways.

Here are just a few of my early pavement pieces ("Shark vs. Robot" was the first, done in Gore Park in Hamilton). The pavement work isn't nearly where I'd like it to be, but it'll just take some time to really get familiar with my materials and the size of the pieces. Just a small adjustment for an animator.

I'm now promoting my cartoon style to festivals around the globe for the coming season. I had been working on honing my skills as a comic fire eater/general comic performer (and still feel a deep love for it and want to continue), but I realized I have something very unique to offer in pavement art. Funny and interactive are things pavement art is sorely lacking. I'd like to pull it all together and see what happens.

Anterson Cooper was designed for a pitch we did at Cuppa Coffee for a RAID commercial.
If you've seen the commercial you'll notice we didn't get it, but the pitch was fun to make. Our crew came up with many pants-wettingly hilarious news items to run along the ANT NEWS ticker tape.
