Mark Mendez's Bio

Mark Mendez, a Southern-California based illustrator, graphic designer and photographer, creates work inspired by a wildly varied spectrum of influences. Born in Southern California, his visual repertoire is as informed by graffiti art and Dia de Los Muertos as it is by celebrity and pop culture. After moving to Portland, Oregon for high school, Mark discovered his affinity for snowboarding and the outdoors, imbuing his visual style with natural elements. During these years he also discovered artists like Geoff McFetridge, opening his eyes to a world of contemporary iconographers. Today Mark continues to produce work that combines his socio-political commentary with the symbols of the modern world.
