Biography
My name is Daniel Mendo, I'm an Italian 2d artist based in Vicenza.
I've worked as a character and environment designer, visual development artist, and illustrator at studios such as Flying Fools Studios (on different unannounced animation projects and children's books), MAKE Animation (on an upcoming animated short called Breath), and Anomalia Concept Art Lab (on the teaser trailer for Gold Matters).
In my spare time, you can probably find me playing video games (a huge Tomb Raider fan here), having a walk outside, or cooking some new recipes.
