Art is from the Heart
Pete Tapang was born in Frankfurt, Germany in 1980, some people think I was born with a pencil in my hand. Believe it or not, it wasn't until one cheesey day at Sunday school that made me pick up a pencil and start drawing.

Besides taking an art class in high school, I never went to college or took special classes to learn how to draw. I believe that art is from the heart, ...no one can really teach you how to do it, only guide you.
"A question you might be thinking about after you see my art is, "Why are most of them women?" Well, people like to draw what they feel is beautiful! Some people like buildings, landscapes, retarded poodles, chipmunks, or even smurfs, but I think that the most beautiful creation that God ever made was the woman, so why not draw that.
Throughout the years I have spent drawing, I realized that every artist has a job to do and I believe that my job as an artist is to cause a little trouble and get people to think a little bit. A man once told me that in a world of media bombardment, it's truly a great thing when a simple drawing can still shock and provoke an audience; it shows that the art still has power."
