Bruno.

Unisex sweatshirt

This Bruno sweatshirt carries the portrait of the Marseille sound engineer printed across the entire surface: the lime-green jacket, the white t-shirt, the matte silver chain, and that fixed gaze that seems to be calibrating something you can't hear. Bruno, praying mantis, mixes concerts in the venues of Marseille. And if there's one thing that defines his relationship with clothing, it's that he needs it to keep him warm without asking anything in return.

The real species

Praying mantis.

Mantis religiosa

Prey doesn't see what's still. My whole technique is not moving before.

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.

Warmth as necessity

Below twelve degrees, Bruno slows down. His fingers lose precision, concentration fades, the mixer knobs become hard to turn. In January, with the mistral blowing through the streets of the Vieux-Port, he arrives at sound checks with his hands in his pockets and five minutes of waiting before touching anything. Someone offers him gloves. He declines: he can't feel the frequencies with gloves. Not stubbornness — well, a little. It's that gloves cut out half the information.

The heating in his twenty-eight-square-meter studio in Cours Julien is always at twenty-four degrees. It's a former tailor's workshop with three-and-a-half-meter ceilings, pale green walls, and a mattress in the darkest corner. In winter, Bruno sleeps more, goes out less, cancels plans. He cooks more — tajine, ratatouille, things that take over an hour on a low flame.

A full-print sweatshirt covers the whole body with a single image. In Bruno's case, that means his portrait runs from the collar to the waist and down the sleeves. Fabric, construction, and care are in the **Fabric, fit and construction** tab.

The rhythm of six in the evening

Bruno works best when the sun goes down. He wakes up around eleven. Coffee — the first of three, always black, always in a small cup. At noon he buys vegetables at the Noailles market, fifteen minutes on foot from home. Always at the same stall, an Algerian greengrocer who sets aside large eggplants for him because she knows he makes tajine. He comes back, eats a little, checks equipment, cleans cables. At five he heads to the gig if there is one. Sound check from six to eight. Concert from nine to midnight. Breakdown until one or two. He walks home.

It's a crepuscular rhythm. He peaks at dusk and in the first hours of the night, when most people are already thinking about dinner. Bruno at that hour is just getting started. The same week might bring an Algerian oud trio on Monday, hardcore punk on Wednesday, and an industrial techno DJ set on Saturday. Which did he prefer? The one that sounded best. In summer it's a different Bruno: windows open, festivals on the Mediterranean circuit — Barcelona, Cádiz, Salonica — and long routes along the corniche at eleven at night. In winter, the sweatshirt makes more sense than ever.

§ 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • On-demand production eliminates surplus stock and overproduction. Each product is manufactured only when someone orders it, drastically reducing material waste and the footprint of unsold inventory.
