My characters live in an exaggerated world of queer joy — bold, familiar figures constantly referencing iconic gay cult moments, pop culture, cinema and music. They’re nostalgic, playful, and a tiny bit chaotic, forming the core motif of the
The Junior Mendez Experience.
My Iconography Series honors the champions and beacons of our community. Instead of a crown, each figure receives my signature coronation — the poppers gesture — a playful nod to queer culture and the icons who shape it.
