Carlos Matias

a love story about a man, his beard and their travels

I’m a byproduct of ‘90s hip hop and Saturday morning cartoons. I currently reside in the Bronx where I kill time during my long commute by making zines, writing stand up comedy, and selling candy for my basketball team.

The only thing I enjoy more than food, music, and pop culture is weaving the three together.

My children’s book with Harper Collins, adapted from my 2021 New York Times Metropolitan Diary finalist for entry of the year, will be released in May 2024.

Carlos reminds me of a young Bill Bernbach because they’re both from the Bronx. His writing though, not so much.
