Google Doodle — La Veneno
I created a doodle for Spanish trans icon Cristina "La Veneno" on her 58th birthday.
Cristina Ortiz Rodríguez, better known as La Veneno, was a Spanish singer, actress, sex worker, and media personality. Considered one of the most important and beloved LGBT icons in Spain, she rose to fame in 1996 after briefly appearing on Spanish late-night talk shows. Distinguished for her spectacular appearance and profane humour, La Veneno was one of the first transgender women to become widely known in Spain, and has since been recognized as a pioneering trans icon. In 2020, a critically acclaimed series produced by Atresmedia following her life became a hit show in Spain.
This was part of an assignment I did for my Interactive Illustration class with guidance from Noam Sussman. Had a lot of fun animating this piece and really enjoyed all the stages of this project!
