Joe Catapano

I’m Joe Catapano.

I’m a professional storyboard and comic book artist. Even as a young kid, I’ve always had a knack for thinking creatively. After I earned a Computer Animation Bachelor’s Degree, I realized drawing and storytelling was my passion.

So amidst the 2008 recession, I taught myself how to draw and proceeded to land several jobs in the gaming, comics, and advertising industries, primarily working on illustration, concept design, and storyboarding. I’ve also worked in the training DoD sector as a graphic artist and contributed regular tutorials for the HowToDrawComic.net community.

In 2021, I founded Vera Via Studios to be a home base for my various works including my first self-published comic, Star Circuit, of which I write and illustrate.

Currently, I’m based out of Orlando, Florida where I work as a commercial storyboard artist, illustrate and design for independent clients, and continue to create the newest chapter of Star Circuit.
