M. Zapata was born in Argentina, moved to the United States at the age of two and a half, where he quickly developed a lifelong passion for the arts. Inspired by the vibrant worlds of Saturday morning cartoons, he embarked on a creative journey that ignited his imagination and steered him toward the realms of movies, comics and storytelling.

A self-taught artist, M. displayed remarkable talent throughout his school years. However, like many young adults, he found himself distracted by the allure of music and girls. Despite this, his love for art remained steadfast. He designed flyers for local bands, contributed artwork to community newspapers, and even had the honor of creating an album cover for a musical group. This side hustle allowed him to keep his creative spirit alive, drawing whenever opportunity permitted.

As he hit his 20’s, he would often illustrate and write stories that had potential to become graphic novels, but time and life would slow that process down. It wasn’t until his late 30’s in early 2018, that M. Zapata committed fully to his craft, diving deeper into his  illustration and storytelling. He has since collaborated on various projects with publishers, launched his own apparel store and published several books.

Fueled by a profound passion for the art medium, M. Decided to explore new and exciting avenues where he was in creative control. His relentless desire to keep learning, creating and innovate has brought him to a new stage in his career.

With the launch of his YouTube channels, he can now put all of his years of creative experience and hard-work in one place, where the audience can take the journey with him.
