Matthew “Mateo” Cantu

For more than two decades, I've been turning blank walls, digital canvases, and sketchbooks into stories. My journey has taken me through graphic design, game development, murals of every size, and comic art — and along the way, I learned that the best work doesn't come from a signature style. It comes from listening to what each project actually needs.

Today, that means murals, illustration, branding, and apparel graphics, blending hand-painted and digital techniques to bring ideas to life — whichever medium the story calls for.

Specialties:

• Murals & wall graphics — painted or digital

• Illustration — traditional and digital

• Branding & identity creation

• Custom graphics for apparel & merch

When I'm not covered in paint or sketching out ideas, you'll probably find me in the kitchen cooking up something delicious — or behind the bar mixing a drink that pairs perfectly with good conversation.

Have a project in mind? Reach out — I'm always excited to collaborate.
