After his graphic design education in Mexico City, Mexico, Gerald Mendez came to the US in 1986 where he undertook the challenge to master as many techniques as possible to improve the quality of his work, including Professional Airbrush and Digital Illustration. In 2006, Gerald joined the Disney Store team and recent he created Ignition Bot, Security Bot and Steampunk Bot from the Vinylmation Robots series.

So far he has greatly proved himself as a brilliant vinylmation artist! He is very talented at using the vinyl shape plus he’s created the best of the robots. I totally look forward to further designs from him.
I really enjoy all of Gerald Mendez’s vinylmation designs; they are very detailed (the apple on the Old Hag, and the gloves on Julius are a great example of his attention to detail).
