Gabriel Villalobos was born and raised in Barotac Viejo, Iloilo. He started experimenting with drawing comics when he was a toddler and then began creating illustrations of other anime characters when he was in high school.

He dreamt of becoming an architect, but difficult circumstances in his life prevented it. One day, he decided to move to the big city to pursue his dream. With just a little money in his pocket, he traveled to Manila. He worked in factories to stay afloat, far from his true passion of becoming an artist. Social media gave him the opportunity to interact with other artists, and soon he was posting his illustrations and drawings on his Facebook page. He explored the possibility of selling his work through Facebook and is grateful to God for his numerous clientele who believe in his talent.
