Oskar Mendez

Hey everyone! My name is Oskar, and creativity runs in my family. My dad and grandfather both worked in creative fields, so making things has always been a big part of my life.I’ve been working in the creative industry for 19 years, including at Disney. I’ve worked on animations, illustrations, and the behind the scenes magic that brings visual stories to life.My absolute favorite thing to do? Design and animate funny mascots. There’s nothing quite like watching a character you drew actually come to life and move. That’s what got me obsessed with tools like Adobe After Effects, Illustrator, and Photoshop, and what I’m here to share with you today.When I’m not at my desk animating, you’ll find me drawing, collaging, or sketching caricatures of my friends, family, and dog.I’m really excited to be here. Let’s get some things moving!
