Meet Mr Mendo. He’s a weird character born out of the pencils of Spain-born, Tokyo-based illustrator Luis Mendo. Be careful, Mr Mendo has quite a temper, although he can also be super sweet. With this pack we think to have your basic communication needs covered, but our plan is to release more theme-specific sticker packs in the future. Remember with Messages on iOS you can put stickers ON messages. 1st Hold down on a sticker within the sticker selector drawer. 2nd Wait until the sticker comes off. 3rd Drag it on top of a message (or sticker).
