This is a large abstract painting in acrylic and Sharpie on heavy duty 12oz cotton duck canvas. I use high quality Golden Acrylic paints and have recently taken to use a type of Sharpie called "Sharpie Extreme" which claims to be fade resistant but I expect the Sharpie pigment will still fade a bit faster than the acrylic pigment (which should stay vibrant for hundreds of years, thousands if kept out of UV light). I also use various acrylic media to increase transparency, extend working life, achieve poured paint effects, and build texture. The name of this painting comes from something my partner and I have taken to saying when we put our six-month-old to bed. He has one of those starfish costumes to sleep in where the hands and the feet don't have openings so that he won't scratch himself in his sleep. (His nails grow so fast!) We call it his little suit. He's in his little suit what we say when he has gotten into the starfish costume and is ready to go into his crib as sort of an aural clue to him that it's night night time, but is also something we say when we get him up and he is touring the house in his pajamas. Just a silly bit of sleep deprived parent humor in the shut in pandemic times. Poor T. has had a very strange infancy, he's only met one set of grandparents and it was for a few hours in the hospital. The number of other humans he has encountered outside of a medical setting can be counted on one hand. In a way T. is always in his little suit. The words "his little suit" are written in white paint going down to up in the upper right of this painting, and "TRANSFORM" is written in dark grey from up to down along the lower left.
