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.

§ 07What people ask.08 · about POD
  • Each product is made to order when you place your purchase. There is no pre-made stock or overproduction. A specialised production partner prints, cuts, and prepares it specifically for you.
  • It depends on two things: which piece it is and where it goes. Posters, the mug, the tote and the backpack ship from Europe: 4-7 business days to Europe, 2-4 to the UK, 2-6 to the USA and Canada, 6-22 to the rest of the world. T-shirts and the sweatshirt are made in the United States, so they take considerably longer to reach Europe: 9-25 business days, 7-10 to the UK, 4-10 to the USA and Canada, 5-17 to the rest of the world. Every figure already includes making the piece, since each one is produced when you order it. You will see the exact date for your shipment at checkout.
  • Contact us at mail@yagopartal.com with your order number and clear photos of the damage (include packaging). We will review your case and offer a solution as soon as possible, either replacement or refund.
  • Check the size guide in each product tab. Measure a t-shirt that fits you well and compare with the length and width measurements. The t-shirts have a regular fit, neither slim nor oversized.
  • Yes. We accept custom commissions of all kinds: pet portraits, corporate projects, and artistic collaborations. Visit the Custom Projects section in the footer for details and contact.
  • Open editions (main shop) are on-demand products with no copy limit. Limited editions (the Editions section of the shop) have controlled numbering and premium finishes with gallery-grade materials.
  • Yes. You will receive an email with a tracking number when your order ships from production. If your order ships in multiple packages, you will get a separate tracking number for each one.
  • Wash the t-shirt inside out, machine wash in cold water, and air dry. Avoid the tumble dryer and ironing directly over the print. Following these steps keeps colours vibrant for a long time.
