Digital artist Patrick Tang is a rising talent among the thriving arts scene in the coolest of all the Dutch cities, Amsterdam. After an early introduction to erotic fantasy and sci-fi in his formative years, Tang soon found a special connection to the relatedsub-cultures. It was these early influences that led to his eventual foray into the visual arts.

With little practical knowledge and heaps of determination he worked persistently at his craft until he felt he’d reached a point of accomplishment. Today his work graces numerous album covers in his native Holland and of course the Internet, every digital artists’ playground.
