Valentine Addams - La Sirena 2021
Valentine Addams is an effervescent spirit from a mystical dimension. I was commissioned to paint Valentine as this updated rendition of her 1st ‘La Sirena’ card for BYOBeans: A Drag Loteria at Replay Lakeview & Andersonville. The 1st time we went very classic style Loteria card in the same position as the original ‘La Sirena’ but this time I wanted to personalize to the energy that Valentine exudes at all times. So I went in the direction of a Sirena taking the form of a human. The mic position was influenced by Selena Quintanilla’s performance style, the ‘mermaid tail’ is disguised as a gown to sell the mirage of a beautiful singer rising from the sea, I wanted to portray a Monstress energy that I feel resonates with the range of mythical style her Drag contains.
