"My inspiration for the Dunny in the Azteca II Series is the "Adelitas" warrior - Mexican women that fought during the revolution. They fought, took care of the food and were nurses in the field. I combined this with an object that I find very interesting – the human skull."

Saner

Saner

Edgar "Saner" Flores is an urban artist, illustrator and graphic designer. Raised by his parents in Mexico City and surrounded by rich color and tradition, Saner developed an interest in drawing and Mexican muralism early on. He began expressing himself on paper and through graffiti art, later going on to earn a degree in graphic design from the Universidad Autónoma de México.

His creations are influenced by Mexican custom and folklore, color, mysticism, masks and skulls. A mix of these lifelong interests and passions has led him to become the artist he is today. Saner's work has been featured in galleries in Mexico, the United States, London, Berlin and Barcelona. He has collaborated with Kidrobot, Vans, G-Shock, HQTR Canada, Pineda Covalin, Persigna Store, Bacardi, Adidas México, Televisa, and many others.

"The sicarii (man-dagger) is inspired in the violence that's affecting Mexico right now, and the war between drug cartels and government. The way we are losing control of our territory is without doubt, one of the main problems that we are facing as a country, and with this piece, I try to portray exactly that, but in a funny way. Death coming from a hit man, is now part of a cultural element: power, revenge, fear, respect, lidership, hate...on that, everything seems to be blending."

Tepetonga

Tepetonga

"Mi name is Marcela Ruiz Barba, I was born in Tlalnepantla, Estado de México, mi friends know me as Tepetonga. Since I was little I was curious about the graphic and plastic arts, I work in advertising as a full time job, but in my other life, I am passioned about engravings, painting, photography, handcrafts, and basically everything that makes me feel satisfied."

"I have had Itinerary exhibitions in: "Wingfield Arts & Music Festival" (Wingfield, Inglaterra), ADOGI Taller Galeria Fort Cadaques (Girona, España) and, Galeria "L'Etang d' Art" (Bages, Francia) among others."

"I am amazed by the weird, marvelous and unexplainable things that life puts me through."

Tepetonga's Inspiration:
If you mix the tail of an animal, the ears of another one, plus something that you have imagined, and you add design, textures and lots of color, the result is an Alebrije. The Alebrije is a mexican tradicional handcraft, made with diferent kinds of paper or carved wood. Most of the times the Alebrijes represent an animal created by imagination.

The technique of a paper Alebrije, consist on the modeling of paper maché, coating a structure made of wire. NECUC means - a warrior in both sides- in the aztec tradition, which inspired this Dunny Alebrije. It has a duality in its nature, mistic, colorful and a charming being.

Michelle Prats

Michelle Prats

It's no secret that Michelle Prats' inspiration is the avocado. She explains that good colors have good taste, shape and texture. Avocados combined with any meal, salad or soup – or even a simple avocado taco – are always delicious. And the guacamole is a must.

Simply put: "It is delicious and it is my favorite fruit."

Daniel Bravo

Dani Bravo

Daniel Bravo was originally in graphic design for 14 years, has explored and won international awards in various areas of design, editorial, television, illustration, animation and advertising just to find in design the best way to communicate ideas because without them, the good design just can't exist.

Mexican by birth and heart, he likes to take Mexico with him every time he travels, and he brings back all kinds of things and stories to share and to inspire people. I think my country is full of inspiration on every corner and never ceases to amaze me I like to really live it and stay in touch with it, in the streets and its people, would be a shame to miss all this, we must always keep our eyes open.

"My inspiration for this design in particular was the art of the 40's and 50's in Mexico, painters, illustrators and muralists of that time that put Mexican art on the map and still today are reference in art history.

And while I have great admiration for them all, I found in Frida Kahlo's image that allowed me to play with a two-sided design applied to the figure of Dunny. I think this is a piece that represents the Azteca spirit without being pre-hispanic."
