Medar is a Dominican-American cartoonist and illustrator born in Miami, Florida, and currently residing in Brooklyn, New York. He graduated with a degree in illustration from Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California, and has since worked as a freelance illustrator for The New York Times and The New Yorker. Beyond the drawing board, Medar has contributed part-time to the Outreach Department at the Brooklyn Public Library, where he provided book cart services to incarcerated individuals on Rikers Island. This experience motivated him to explore the role of journalism in his autobiographical comics. Currently, Medar is working on a graphic novel about his experiences on Rikers to offer insights into spaces that are otherwise inaccessible to the public. In addition to drawing comics, he serves as an educator, sharing his passion for visual communication through community workshops across the city.
