Evan Mendel is a painter, muralist, and street artist, born in 1988 and raised in the valley outside of Los Angeles, CA. His artistic journey began with an early love for cartoons and comic books, which evolved into an interest in skateboard graphics and graffiti. Growing up immersed in skateboarding and surfing, thanks to his father’s involvement in a skate/surf shop, these cultures greatly influenced Evan’s artistic sensibilities.
