About The Artists

Valeria Valdes

I'm an illustrator, animator and creative. Born and raised in Norrköping to two chilean parents. I've dabbled in theatre as well as music but visual arts has always held a dear place in my heart. Today I work with animation, live visuals, art direction and crafts. What can I say? I like it all.

So how did this whole thing happen?

Both of us being avid MCR fans since our preteen years, we met at some point during Frank Iero’s 2017 UK tour. We had dozens of mutual friends and had been in the same circles for years. We hit it off straight away online, and our friendship only grew stronger after realizing we both shared the same passion for art and music. We also sat on the street together outside an Airbnb in the middle of the night after meeting Gerard Way and talked for hours about what MCR means to us - that kinda stuff bonds people together forever, y’know?

The idea for this project came about when I realized both of us were making art inspired by the bands we love. Two is better than one so we put our (tiny) brains together and very proudly present to you - our emo lovechild - the “Our Lady Of Tarots” deck. 

(Which, again, is absolutely definitely not inspired by any American rock band from New Jersey)
