In 2004, Pelletier created a modern-day version of James Ensor’s Christ’s Entry Into Brussels in 1889 called American Fundamentalists: Christ’s Entry into Washington in 2008. Pelletier’s work adapts and expands Ensor’s mockery of government, religious and business leaders, recasting the return of Jesus based on modern biblical interpretations of the late 20th century American Christian Fundamentalist and Christian Dominionist movements, especially of Left Behind author and activist Tim LaHaye. The work has been displayed throughout the United States and Europe, usually accompanied by presentations by and discussion with the artist.

Since 2006 he has specialized in live classic rock performing, including tribute bands recreating The Who as bassist John Entwistle, San Jose, CA’s Zeppelin Live and Jimmy Sakurai’s Mr. Jimmy Led Zeppelin Revival as Led Zeppelin bassist/keyboardist/mandolin player John Paul Jones (musician), and San Jose’s Journey Unauthorized performing Journey (band) music on keyboards. He also records and performs as pianist with The Lush Pop Trio.
