Sandy Jimenez (born March 8, 1968) is an American comic book artist, writer and director, most commonly associated with the New York city independent comic book scene of the 1990s, with work appearing in magazines such as Inner City Press and World War 3 Illustrated.
He was born in Manhattan, but raised by a single mother in the South Bronx during all of the 1970s, the years of that borough's most intense economic privation and grinding poverty. Displaying an aptitude for visual art and creative writing from a very early age, he was awarded a scholarship to the Calhoun School in the fall of 1980. He majored in sculpture at The Cooper Union and exhibited four completed comic books in 1990 as part of his Senior exhibition in the Houghton Gallery. One of the comic books shown at the exhibition entitled the Shit House Poet would be the basis of his ongoing published work in World War 3 Illustrated for that entire decade and beyond.
In 2004, the comic book story entitled "Skips" originally published in issue #31 of World War 3 Illustrated was adapted into a short that was part of the official competition at the Tribeca Film Festival. Sandy Jimenez also received the ABC/Disney New Talent Development Grant in that same year for his screenplay writing.

Skips (2004)
A very cool short that should be a feature...
29 May 2004
I liked this movie a lot. It's one of the most realistic portrayals of teen life I've ever seen. There's a lot of crap that's aimed at kids in regard to advertising in TV and magazines and although people freak about the violence on TV and movies, nobody seems to worry about how things are sold to little kids and teens. This movie is like a small episode in a group of friends lives and how screwed up and messy things get just because of a status symbol like a sneaker brand. The actors in it are great, (I think one of the kids was a bully in the Daredevil movie with Ben Afleck) especially the girl who plays Darlene. With all the junk aimed at teens, this little movie actually poses some interesting questions. -M.L. Jimenex
