Martin Cendreda was born and raised in Los Angeles, CA. His grandfather taught him to read the funnies, his grandmother taught him to fry an egg, and his mother taught him the value of skipping school to watch The Empire Strikes Back. He still resides on the same street on which he grew up, sharing a cozy nook with his wife Jenny and their 2 cats. His comics and illustrations have appeared in 1-UP, Giant Robot, Peko-Peko, Dazed and Confused, XLR8R, and Arthur.
