Peter Minshall (born 16 July 1941) is a Trinidadian carnival artist (described colloquially in Trinidad and Tobago as a "mas-man").
Growing up in Port of Spain, Minshall was exposed to Carnival from a young age.
Minshall designed Carnival costumes for relatives and family friends while in school.
His first major theatrical commission, for a production at Sadler's Wells, came after a director saw a portfolio of his Carnival designs.
Minshall designed the art and sculptures for the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia USA and along with Israeli artist Doron Gazit is generally credited as the co-inventor of the tube man[3][4] which was prominently featured in the design for the Games.
