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.

A Cardboard Box in August

Alek grew up in Heimaey, the island where in August baby puffins leave their burrow for the first time and the village lights confuse them. Kids go out at night to collect them in cardboard boxes, weigh them, and return them to the sea from the cliff at dawn. He did it every August from age eight on, never celebrating a single rescue, never skipping a night. It never seemed like a feat to him; it was just what you did, like setting the table. The t-shirt carries that quiet face of someone who cares without talking about it.

An Everyday Puffin

The portrait is front-on with no background: on a t-shirt it reads at a glance. He's a calm critter, the kind you warm to right away, no fuss about him. Good for everyday wear, for work or for going out. If you like this puffin, his whole story is available separately, and there are more Animal Kinhood t-shirts with other characters from the same family.

  • Production normally takes 2-5 business days. Shipping adds 3 to 20 days depending on destination. Most orders arrive within 1-3 weeks total. Exact times depend on the production facility and your location.
  • 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.
  • No. No animals participate in or are harmed during the process. The portraits are created combining photography, illustration, and artificial intelligence. They are fictional characters representing real species with respect and dignity.
  • Yes. At checkout you can enter a different shipping address from billing. The package arrives white-label with no visible price, so the recipient will not see the cost.
  • 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.
  • The t-shirts are 96% cotton and 4% elastane, weighing 189 g/m2. The fabric is soft with a smooth surface, ideal for all-over printing. They are pilling-resistant and colourfast after washing.
