Julian Mendoza is a Southern California artist that was born and raised in the Los Angeles Harbor/South Bay area, and he’s lived on the same block for well over 50 years. As a graduate of L.A. Trade Tech back in the ’70s, Julian began working as a commercial artist that specialized in package design, but once his time card was punched and he was back in the comfort of his home, he soon found himself immersed in a world that was dedicated to drawing Bombs, Zoot-Suiters and Pachucas.
