Mini bio
How it started.
Zach loved art as a child and returned to serious practice in high school. After sharing drawings on Instagram, fans wanted to know the person behind the pictures. YouTube offered a place to show both the artwork and Zach’s personality.
Finding the format.
Zach traces the channel’s growth to painting things and giving them away, then collaborating with creators such as MrBeast. Phones and other gifts grew into much larger canvases, including a school, a hospital and houses.
Building with a team.
In 2021, Zach hosted the second season of YouTube Originals’ Instant Influencer, an art competition with ten contestants. By 2024, projects included six murals at YouTube’s San Bruno offices. Zach described a shift from working alone toward keeping a larger team motivated and happy.
Life alongside the art.
Michelle is part of the creative process too. In a 2022 interview, Zach credited her with finding trends and developing ideas for short videos. Their wedding film arrived in 2025, followed by a pregnancy announcement in June 2026.
