Alek.

Unisex sweatshirt

This puffin sweatshirt keeps you warm and takes Alek out into the street: a puffin in a denim vest and striped sweater, from my Animal Kinhood series. He wears a black neckerchief around his neck that he pulls up over his nose when he's not in the mood to talk.

The real species

Atlantic puffin.

Fratercula arctica

The lights of my town send the pufflings off course. A cardboard box fixes it.

Open North Atlantic sea during the non-breeding months, where it lives as a solitary pelagic far from any coast; in summer, coastal cliffs with diggable soil for breeding, mainly in Iceland (60% of the world population) and in the Vestmannaeyjar archipelago, where the Heimaey colony holds around 830,000 pairs, the largest in the world.

The Neckerchief Up to His Nose

In his story, when Alek is concentrating or doesn't feel like talking, he pulls the black neckerchief up over his nose. At the workshop they know: neckerchief up, don't talk to him. It's useful against the wind and the dock spray, but mostly it's a switch — it goes up when the world's asking for more than he's got that day. Anyone who knows him knows it's not unfriendliness, just a puffin who needs his moment of silence inside the noise, and who asks for it without spending a single word. A hoodie suits him perfectly, for similar reasons.

A Garment for the Quiet Moment

That's why a sweatshirt suits him: it's the garment for someone who bundles up for quiet work and then goes home to his own silence. On your chest you carry his calm face and the striped sweater; the neckerchief and the rest stay with him. The portrait is just the bust, front-on: the calm face and the knitwear, nothing around it. It works as an everyday piece. If you want more, I've got more Animal Kinhood clothing with other critters from the same family.
