About

I’m André Luís Mendes, a freelance comic book artist and illustrator from São José dos Pinhais (PR), with strong, results-driven experience creating dynamic visual storytelling for international audiences. I focus on concept development and execution, including sequential art, character design, and high-impact illustration that fits publisher and client guidelines.

I manage end-to-end creative workflows—from thumbnails and pencil work to inking and digital coloring—and I’m comfortable translating scripts and written ideas into expressive page layouts with clear narrative pacing. I’ve worked with international clients and successfully published comic work with US publishers, delivering print-ready, high-resolution files on strict deadlines while staying responsive across borders.
