Toño for La Tlapalería





The new collection developed in 2017 for WANTED DESIGN, bears the name of MEXIBRIJES, unique sculptures that in form of celebration, show diversity and inclusion of characters, crafts and daily life of Mexican icons. Numerous are the characters that can label us but at the same time define is, if analysed critically these speak of our own “Mexicanity”, a reality that adds value to daily life in Mexican cities. “Our eyes will always be looking for value, but our habits, trades and icons will continue showing our purest reality...”
The other day I saw Toño at my store. He seemed taller but his face hasn’t changed at all.
-Toñito! I haven’t seen you in a while, man! Where you been? Are you still making ‘piñatas’ with your ol’ man?
-Y’a know, working makes me busy and yeah! Sometimes, but right now Imma striker.
-¿Like in soccer?
-That’s right.
-¡No shit! I still remember when you were a little ol’ man asking for money in the street. What do you mean footballer?!. ‘K man. Say ‘hi’ your dad for me. Are you buying that Coke?
-Well… ya know. I’ll tell you later about it, I really gotta go now! And yeap, just the Coke.
-That’s 10 pesos.
He slid his hand to his pockets and showed that smiled I knew very well.
-Can I have it freebie?
-That fucker has not changed a bit.
