The son of Senior Character artist, Gerald Mendez, Oskar Mendez literally followed in his father's footsteps. Born in Mexico City, Oskar came to the US when he was 4 and graduated from Art Center college of Design in Pasadena, CA before stepping into his first job at the Disney Store. Now Oskar's been at the Disney Store for 4 years and is designing Vinylmation like Communication Bot and the limited edition Reflector Bot from the Robots series.

Oskar gets his inspiration primarily from animation artists old and new, such as Peter de Seve, Claire Wendling and Heinrich Key... to name a few. Oskar loves to draw from life and paint when he gets the chance.
