Ikal.

Unisex sweatshirt

Fog settles over the canal at dawn, and it's chilly: that's what a hoodie is for. This axolotl hoodie carries Ikal, an axolotl facing forward in a red plaid shirt and denim jacket, against a plain background. He's a character from my Animal Kinhood series.

Axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) in the wild
The real species

Axolotl.

Ambystoma mexicanum

Working the chinampa means caring for the water where the last axolotl lives.

Endemic exclusively to the canals and chinampas of the Xochimilco lake system, in Mexico City, at 2,240 metres of altitude. It inhabits the muddy beds of cold fresh water (between 6 and 20 °C), among aquatic vegetation such as ahuejote and water lily, in low-current zones. Its historic habitat also included the now-extinct lakes of Chalco and Texcoco.

An axolotl for the morning chill

On the hoodie goes the portrait: an axolotl with pale pink skin, red feathery gills poking out on either side of his head like a crown, and a wide mouth curved upward. Underneath, the red plaid shirt and the worn blue denim jacket. I created him facing forward against a plain background: the portrait reads whole across the chest, and the pink of his skin stands out against the blue of the denim.

Being where you're needed

A hoodie is the garment for lounging at home and stepping out into the cold without a second thought, and it suits Ikal: someone who shows up early, does what needs doing, and doesn't make a fuss. He looks after the water because, to him, the water is the first thing you touch when the day starts. If you like how this axolotl fits into an ordinary morning, his whole story is in his character profile.
