  3. Gorgeous illustration, especially what Lopez done for Missioni

    Funnily that Lopez' themes are "queer desire and race": I once was in Gender Studies and these issues often come across, and the difficulty of being non-white and queer at the same time, especially in machismo Latino male cultures. Good he set an example and created beautiful art
