About
Matteo Montero-Murillo (also known as Mueritos online) is a trans and gay artist and social worker from Bethlehem, PA born to Mexican immigrants. He has been drawing since he could hold a pencil and finds creative outlets in not just art but in music, graphic design, fashion, and more. While he is a freelance artist, he is currently studying at Boston University for a Master's in Social Work and hopes to one day work clinically with queer youth and young adults. He also has a BA in Spanish with a minor in Women's Gender and Sexuality Studies from Moravian University.
He is interested in making radical and provocative art and comics. He does not shy away from anarchist, de-colonial, and queer-inclusive themes in his art. He loves magical realism, comics, alternative music, and most importantly-cats. He has several years of experience creating comics and digital art.
Matteo also enjoys working within the social work field, both as a research assistant and therapist. His clinical interests reside in queer theory, abolition/non-carceral frameworks, unpacking shame, repairing harm, and helping individuals live as their authentic selves. As a research assistant, he has had the opportunity to create several graphics for the CoHeal Lab based in Boston for HIV related research. He is available for work creating research briefs for students, researchers, professors, and more.
