Youth t-shirt

There's a youth praying mantis t-shirt that features Bruno with his silver chain around his neck: a reserved mantis, sound engineer in Marseille, one of those who listen more than they talk. It's from my Animal Kinhood series, and that chain has a story he doesn't tell.

The real species

Praying mantis.

Mantis religiosa

Good sound is invisible. If the audience notices me, something's gone wrong.

Meadows, Mediterranean scrubland, field edges and sunny peri-urban zones from southern Europe to northern Africa and western Asia; successfully introduced to North America since 1899.

A Chain He Doesn't Explain

Marc was a sixty-year-old roadie from Toulon. The night he retired, after one last gig, he took a piece of chain off a broken flight case — matte silver, medium links — and gave it to Bruno: so you don't forget where you come from. Bruno put it on and hasn't taken it off since. When someone asks about it, he changes the subject. It's not that it hurts; it's that naming it would wear it out.

Green That Blends in with the Leaves

On the t-shirt you're wearing his calm face, facing forward, in the lime jacket and the silver chain. A fact about the species, outside the image: because of its color and stillness, the mantis blends in with leaves and branches until you can barely see it. The same thing happens to Bruno: on the balcony, in his lime jacket, the neighbors can barely tell him apart from the foliage. There's more of him in his biography, and more clothing from the series in the store.

§ 07 What 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • AI is a tool within the creative process, not the process itself. Yago directs each portrait: researching the species, designing the character, and manually selecting and editing the result. The artistic decision is always human.
