Mexican And Mexican-American Artists With Flava (PHOTOS)

Hector Silva is an artist from Jalisco, Mexico who now lives and works in California. His drawings on paper draw inspiration from several sources and are known for their honest depiction of gay chicano men in L.A. and Chicago. Silva's life in art started late, but he was encouraged to pursue his artistic career by actress and comedian Lucille Ball after he sent her a drawing when he was 25.
