Matthias was born and raised on the ancestral lands of Coast Salish Nations, where he currently resides on dxʷdəwʔabš-iliʔi (Duwamish land) in siʔaɬ (Seattle, WA).

In 2019, he earned his B.A. in Animation at Loyola Marymount University. His work is inspired by a love for the natural world, human nature, history and culture, personal spiritual practice, and comical exaggeration.

When he’s not creating, he enjoys studying spiders, hiking, and collecting.
