Mariano, a 38-year-old author and illustrator, is a devoted husband and father of two young children. With a deep passion for creating children’s books, comics, and art, Mariano’s journey began at CU Denver, where he majored in music business and discovered his love for writing. After years of developing characters, plots, and designs, he found inspiration in his children to complete his first children’s book, which he reads to them every night. Their enthusiasm for his stories and characters led him to create a daily comic strip, offering a humorous and insightful glimpse into his parenting life. These comics, featuring characters inspired by his children, have garnered a large and appreciative audience on Instagram. Mariano dreams of sharing his beloved characters and their humor with the world.
