About Jorge-Luis Mendez.

I am an illustrator working out of New York City. Within my art, I explore the uniqueness of identity, the magic of childhood, and the unnerving relationship between fantasy and horror. My favorite things include funny-weird characters, hand-made books, & interrobangs ‽ I began my career interning at Marvel Comics, and spent many years on the Nestlé brand teams before venturing into the freelance world. In addition to my BFA degrees in Illustration & Animation, and Drawing & Painting, I have completed an Illustration & Visual Narrative Residency at the School of Visual Arts and the Master’s Workshop for Design & Typography in Rome, Italy.
