ABOUT ME

M. F. Coelho is a self-taught and published artist from Belo Horizonte, Brazil. Born in 1989, Coelho taught himself how to draw at the age of eight from watching The Simpsons. As a teenager he moved to Northeast Tennessee and discovered the Sin City graphic novels, written and illustrated by Frank Miller, where he discovered the medium for his pen & ink artistic sensibilities. Other major influences on this artistry span from the Southern California Chicano Lowrider culture, the 90s East Coast Hip Hop scene, and the Swedish-Based Millennium novels by Stieg Larsson. If it’s one thing Coelho wants to make clear in his art it is that it is 100% to think outside the box and go beyond the cultural expectations of your community and environment.
Coelho is also an established photographer and videographer having shot and edited many Quinceaneras, music videos, and fashion shoots not only for the Latino community but the American urban and international communities based in the southeastern states, New York City, and the Bay Area, CA. He is a graduate of East Tennessee State University with a Bachelor’s of Science in Digital Media and is currently has been serving in the United States Navy for eight years.
