Of Puerto Rican descent, Vanessa Vanjie Mateo is the stage name of Tampa-born José Cancel, the performer probably most widely known for her appearance on "RuPaul's Drag Race." British figurative artist David Puck—self-described "queer nomad painter"—set up his first ever Los Angeles studio last year, in a shared warehouse space on E 11th St and promptly added this colorful mark outside. Puck says he "wanted to paint a Latina queen to go with the community here in East LA" going on to add... "Who doesn't want to say hi to Vanjie every morning. The Latina shishi guardian lion of the art warehouse."  @davidpuckartist/  @vanessavanjie/
