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.
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.
Natty Paint will have a booth at ARTSCAPE this summer!!!!
Artscape is the largest free arts festival. The festival dates are July 16-18. It will be located on multiple blocks surrounding Mt. Royal Avenue and North Charles Street.
Natty Paint’s booth will be located in the DIY section!
Saturday, June 26th at 8:00PM, Natty Paint will be at Paradox Nightclub! Natty Paint will be dressing many of the performers at this event including DJ Lemz.
Paradox Nightclub is located at 1310 Russell Street Baltimore, MD.
A protest against boredom.
An underground, modern-yet-throwback fantasy nightlife experience.
Truly avant garde, recklessly beautiful, edgy, and now.
With a focus on live music performances and DJs, but a melting together of scenes and crossing of boundaries.
Express yourself through your outfits – the most interesting concepts will be rewarded with free entrance (for you AND your party). Get the make-up out…look through some mags and sport some rags–have some fun making your outfit.
There are Three Music Areas—bands, DJs and
live P.A.
BBQ by Mama Saray
Tickets $20 in advance (more at the door). Click Here for advanced ticket sales.

Spring has sprung and with summer on the horizon, that means that there are a million and one craft fairs and perfect chances for you to load up on your Natty Paint.
On May 23rd (this Sunday!) there’s the Handmade Mart in Silver Spring from 10am to 5pm. Then next Sunday, May 30th, you can find us at Sowebofest which will be surrounding Hollins Market in Southwest Baltimore. We will be there from noon until 9pm.
Skipping into June there is the Charles Village Fest on June 5th and 6th. It’ll be in Wyman Park Dell which is right at the corner of Charles Street and 29th Street. The next weekend, June 12 and 13th, we will be stationed in Hampden for the fabulous Honfest.
…And it was awesome. We had so much fun with all of the performers, the art was great and we all partied in our favorite Natty Paint clothes. Gutter Magazine’s own J.M. Giordano was there to take some pictures to remind us of how fabulous it was:
The website looks awesome, the clothes look great and everyone donning it looks hot.
