Men's t-shirt

This barn owl t-shirt for men carries Isabella on your chest, a common barn owl seen from the front in her beige anorak and mint-green hood, from my Animal Kinhood series. A sound engineer who starts work when everyone else turns off the light.

I'm spending this time drawing and growing the world of Animal Kinhood. The shop isn't running, and I don't have a date for reopening it.

If it ever opens again, I can let you know.

The real species

Barn Owl.

Tyto alba

I can hear it, but I can't name it yet.

Open country with low vegetation for hunting —grassland, marshes, woodland edges, farmland, and the fringes of towns—, from sea level to over 2,000 m; it nests in tree hollows, rock ledges and, very characteristically, in barns, church towers, and lofts

From six in the evening to six in the morning

Isabella set up Nachtwerk, her mastering studio in Ghent, to work when the city goes quiet. It opens at six in the evening and closes at six in the morning, because that's how she's built. A Brussels producer offered her a permanent contract with office hours, and she turned it down without making a drama of it: clocking in at ten in the morning is no use to someone who, at that hour, is heading off to sleep. This t-shirt carries the face of someone who does her best work while everyone else rests.

The third step, at three in the morning

She didn't start living at night for the job. At eight years old she went down the stairs at three in the morning, following a noise she couldn't name — it was the boiler firing up, but she learned that later — and sat on the third step to wait until she understood it. Night was always her good hour. Today the building she lives in is going to be renovated and the rent is squeezing her, and even so she wouldn't trade her hours for anything. Whoever gives you this t-shirt knows someone who comes alive at dawn, and respects it.

§ 07What 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.
  • It depends on two things: which piece it is and where it goes. Posters, the mug, the tote and the backpack ship from Europe: 4-7 business days to Europe, 2-4 to the UK, 2-6 to the USA and Canada, 6-22 to the rest of the world. T-shirts and the sweatshirt are made in the United States, so they take considerably longer to reach Europe: 9-25 business days, 7-10 to the UK, 4-10 to the USA and Canada, 5-17 to the rest of the world. Every figure already includes making the piece, since each one is produced when you order it. You will see the exact date for your shipment at checkout.
  • 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.
  • Yes, we ship worldwide. Shipping costs vary by region and product type. You can see the exact cost at checkout before confirming your order.
  • Yago Partal is a visual artist and photographer from Barcelona known for Zoo Portraits (2013), a project that brought his work to international media. Animal Kinhood is the evolution of that artistic exploration.
