Natty Paint is making strides in Baltimore! We’re on the front page of this week’s City Paper, which is available for free all over Baltimore! This is a huge honor for us and great exposure. Thanks everyone for the support!
Greater Homewood Community Corporation, a local non-profit organization for which we designed and printed shirts for this past fall for their 40 Trees in 40 Neighborhoods initiative, congratulated us for the feature in City Paper on their blog.
In celebration of the feature story, they are offering the Natty Paint 40 Trees tees at a special discounted rate of ONLY $15 for one week only! Each one was hand-printed by Natty Paint on organic cotton with eco-friendly inks and can be purchased at their online store. All proceeds go towards GHCC’s efforts to plant 1,600 trees by Spring 2011.
Carlos, our website designer, has entered a design contest for a Mimobot flash drive. Check out his entry, “Tony Blenderhead” and vote here! Voting ends July 30th!
We just finished whipping out shirts for The Dogwood, a restaurant located in our neck of the woods, Hampden! The Dogwood specializes in sustainable American cuisine. The shirts are the new uniform of the servers and bussers, and are also on sale for ONLY $20. We dropped them off yesterday and already a bunch have sold. Stop in ASAP to grab a bite to eat and a shirt.
This past weekend was Artscape in Baltimore, which meant tons of people enjoying every art form imaginable! We came, sold, and conquered in the blazing heat at our DIY booth. We sold over 100 pieces of clothing and got our name out. Make sure to like us on Facebook!
Here are some pics from the weekend.
We had all three lines out for sale.
We got a bubble machine for the booth, which little kids really enjoyed.
The reworked vintage skirts, selling for ONLY $24 were a hit!
Fellow designer Virginia, of Deda & Young, stopped by to say hi. She was a tad taller than we remembered.
The Phillips Collection is a modern art museum located in the Dupont Circle neighborhood of Washington, D.C.
The Phillips Collection is “an intimate museum combined with an experiment station.” The museum is an exceptional collection of modern and contemporary art in a dynamic environment for collaboration, innovation, engagement with the world, scholarship, and new forms of public participation.
Natty Paint has been commissioned to design and print 215 T-shirts to be sold at the museum store.
The shirts are red with a fierce yet modern design in the front that fit with the ideals of the museum. Be sure to check out the museum and the museum shop!
Their goal is to put more people on bikes in Baltimore because they’re practical, sustainable, beautiful, and fun!
BBW embodies many ideas that Natty Paint. Therefore, we are super happy to have been commissioned by BBW to design and print tshirts that will be sold at their shop!
For the collection, Natty Paint and BBW decided to go for a bright green shirt with animal themed letters for a vibrant yet fun look!
Baltimore Bicycle Works is located at 1813 Falls Road Baltimore, MD 21201.
This past week, Natty Paint has been busy dressing Sherell Rowe for her album release in August! We worked with Rowe’s producer, Jesse Jackson, from Dark Plant Records for the photo shoot as well.
Jesse and Emily Li Mandri (owner/designer of Natty Paint) found inspiration for the shoot from vintage clothes.
Sherell Rowe is wearing a one of a kind bathing suit that has been altered to make a low neckline. The one piece is adorned with a vintage brooch and the shoulder pieces were constructed from vintage sequins as well.
Tim Coburn was the photographer for the photo shoot. He did an amazing job making Sherell Rowe look stunning in her vintage bathing suit.
