THE Journey

Growing up in a small town in rural Georgia, the Bible Belt, its values and culture of the South had an everlasting impact on Peckham's love of art and music. It was also when John Marc learned about the legend of Elvis Presley. Elvis reverberated throughout the South, on the radio, on television, and in Hollywood movies. Much like himself, Elvis was a Southerner, and created a template for all dreamers to follow. Elvis Presley was “The King of Rock and Roll” and as Peckham pursued his modern icon theme he continued to find out why.

Peckham has created 42 Elvis inspired works of art. Some of these works were included in the “ELVIS & MARILYN: 2X Immortal” exhibition in the U.S, and Japan. “King Size” in France. “Kingpins” in the U.K., Peckham participated in Graceland's Art Exhibit/Contest and had his artwork placed in the Graceland Memorial Park. The“Metope”exhibit featured his Elvis Shrine at Webster Hall, NYC.
