Peter Spacek is an East End artist and cartoonist, currently designs and illustrates whimsical letter forms. His alphabet of local images and seashore life reflects his love of the East End and its well-loved beaches. Spacek was raised in California, though he was drawn to New York thanks to its bustling artistic community.

He pursued a career in editorial illustration and his love of surfing brought him to Montauk. Spacek has worked for several major magazines and newspapers and his card designs can be found in the Museum of Modern Art's gift collection. Today, Spacek is the editorial cartoonist for the East Hampton Star. He also has a line of humorous beach culture greeting cards and graphic apparel sold under the Ditch Ink brand. When he's not drawing, surfing, or fishing, Spacek creates scrimshaw fine art on recycled surfboards. He recently wrote and illustrated a guide to surf etiquette called Wetiquette.
