Patricio Betteo studied graphic design at the Faculty of Arts and Design at UNAM in Mexico. His illustrations have been featured in diverse magazines such as Expansión, Rolling Stone, and Nexos, and he has exhibited his art in Mexico City, Bucharest, Madrid, and Paris.

He illustrated the graphic novel by Tony Sandoval titled Gris: A través de los otoños, which was published in Switzerland and Mexico. Some of his most notable projects include Never Ever After, Mirador, and the graphic novel Mundo Invisible (winner of the 2011 National Graphic Novel Competition by Editorial JUS). He has also illustrated nearly thirty children’s books for publishing companies like Fondo de Cultura Ecónómica, SM, Sexto Piso, Alfaguara, and Almadía.
