Liam.

Framed poster

Some people drive six hours just to open the windows of a house and make soup. This framed black bear print portrays someone like that: Liam, a brewer from West Asheville, facing forward in his skull sweater, from my Animal Kinhood series.

Ursus americanus

I spend seven months asleep without drinking or eating. My body learns before my head does.

Six Hours of Driving, Once a Month

When his mother stopped opening the restaurant, Liam drove six hours, arrived at night, opened the windows and made soup. He stayed four months. He learned that caring is a physical act: you don't say "I'm worried," you say "I brought you soup." He's visited her once a month ever since, and he uses the drive to think about what he doesn't know how to say to her out loud. A print doesn't tell you all of this; it frames it. What you see hanging up is the calm face of someone who carries what's his without fuss.

A Portrait to Hang and Leave

The portrait is frontal and background-free: framed, it doesn't need anything else around it. All the color lives in the sweater — the fuchsia and orange skulls, the turquoise neckline — and the bear, black, sits still, looking at you. A framed print is one of the few things you buy to leave in its place for years, and that suits Liam: he's the kind who keeps what matters. The frame, sizes and finish are on the purchase page; here I'm telling you who the bear is that you're about to hang.

  • 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.
  • Animal Kinhood is a series of anthropomorphic animal portraits created by Yago Partal. Each portrait features a real species dressed in clothing that reflects its personality, blending photography, illustration, and artificial intelligence.
  • It includes an ayous wood frame (1.9 cm thick, from renewable forests), an Acrylite acrylic protective front, and hanging hardware. It is lightweight and arrives ready to hang directly on the wall.
  • 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.
  • Each portrait combines photography, digital illustration, and AI-generated fragments under Yago's artistic direction: AI supplies intermediate material — references, poses, textures — never the final output. The process includes species research, character design, and detailed manual construction — photomontage, light, color, and illustration — built layer by layer in Photoshop.
  • 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.
