About the Artist

My name is Cayetano Garza Jr., but my friends call me “Cat”…

I’m a graphic designer, cartoonist, musician, and painter originally from Harlingen, Texas with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Studio Art from The University of Texas-Pan American in Edinburg, Texas. I now live in White River Junction, Vermont down the street from The Center for Cartoon Studies where I help cartooning students get their work on the web and have been a thesis adviser

I started making webcomics back in 1996 as a way to avoid having to send out costly submission packets to comics publishers and have been posting comics on the web in some form or another ever since. I started magicinkwell.com in 1998 as a place to publish my work exclusively on the web (which at the time was practically unheard of and has since become no big deal). When Joey Manley started Modern Tales, one of the first webcomics subscription sites in March of 2002, I was fortunate enough to be asked to join. Later, I became part of Webcomicsnation which is now Comicspace.

I’m most well known for my experiments in webcomics, especially infinite canvas comics.
