Bagus.

Youth t-shirt

Youth elephant t-shirt with Bagus, a herbalist from my Animal Kinhood series, where the animals dress and live like people. Bagus is a makhna elephant, tuskless, who runs a stall of plant remedies in the high market of Liwa, in Sumatra, wearing his mustard corduroy shirt even though nobody's expecting him. He's got a line he repeats to anyone who'll listen: there's no such thing as a weed, just an herb you haven't found the use for yet.

The real species

Asian elephant.

Elephas maximus

There's no such thing as a weed. Just an herb you haven't found the use for yet.

Tropical forests and grasslands of South and Southeast Asia (India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia, Sumatra and Borneo, and southern China); the Sumatran branch lives in the lowland forests and the slopes of the Bukit Barisan mountains.

Nothing Goes to Waste, Everything Has Its Use

On the t-shirt, Bagus has the calm of someone unbothered by anything: a huge, tuskless elephant, wearing the mustard corduroy shirt and the brown gentleman's waistcoat. His motto isn't just about plants. "There's no such thing as a weed, just an herb you haven't found the use for yet" applies to young people too: nobody's extra, everyone has their moment and their purpose, even if it isn't obvious at first. Printed on a t-shirt, the line takes it to the street.

The One Who Goes Off Alone for a Few Days

Bagus is one of those males who left the herd. As a young one he started not being able to sit still in the group: he'd drift off, come back, drift off again, with a restlessness he couldn't name. It still comes over him every so often. He gets short-tempered, shuts up the stall and climbs the mountain, alone, until it passes. Who, when young, hasn't needed to get lost for a few days to come back whole? He comes down calmer and, by the next morning, he's back at the counter.
