M. Zapata, born in Argentina, raised in the United States, has been drawing ever since he can remember. As a little kid, Saturday morning cartoons (Spider-Man, G.I.Joe, Voltron, etc.) became the eye-opening adventures into his creation with his imagination that would propel him into the medium of comics and storytelling. 

As a self-taught artist, he excelled all through school with his ability to draw. But as with any young adult, he discovered music and girls (in no particular order) which slowed down his interactions with creating art, but it never stopped him from buying comic books or drawing. He would make flyers for local bands and their shows, art pieces for local news papers, and he even had the opportunity to make the cover of a band’s album. His ability to draw on the side whatever he could, whenever he could, would allow for him to never stop creating.

It wasn’t till the beginning of 2018 that he started taking comic book illustrating, storytelling and his artistic abilities more seriously. He’s worked on a variety of projects with publishers, opened up his own shop, published a handful of children’s books and also started attending conventions, to get more involved with the industry.

M. Zapata is now fully charged with this love and hunger for creating, his exposure to the industry has left him with an inability to not just settle with his creations, but to push his artistic passion into new and exciting ventures. The love and want that he has for storytelling and creating, has his peers  wondering what creative concoction will he give birth to next.
