…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.
There were performances by Lazerbitch, Hounds, in every room, DJ Lemz, and Molly Siegel (of Ponytail). The Effervescent Collective incorporated their dancing to the acts and was able to add to the already great performances.
There was also art by Ann Everton, James Singewald, Karen Yasinsky, Cyle Metzger and Matthew Shelley.
We all had so much fun and we have plans to work with these artists in the very near future! Stay tuned!
On April 17th at the Senator Theater, Baltimore based band Animal Collective had their Baltimore premiere of their film ODDSAC.
The film was amazing and we got to talk to Josh Dibb, also known as Deakin, after the show and gave him and the rest of the band some Natty gear. We were able to get a picture with him and some of the shirts we gave him:
Check out their MySpace page and read this interview they had with Pitchfork.
Get ready for a Nat-tastrophe!
Come celebrate with us May 1, as we ring in Natty Paint’s one-year anniversary and new website launch at the Load of Fun Building, from 9 pm- 2 am.

You wanna see Natty Paint go bananas?
On Saturday May 1, Natty Paint, in collaboration with the Pop Up Project, is throwing the most epic launch party of all time. (Location to be determined!) Not that we need an excuse to party, but in addition to celebrating Natty Paint’s recent successes (gorilla late night! LA and NYC potential boutiques! famous band fans!) and its ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY! the launch party will be celebrating Baltimore’s burgeoning and vibrant arts and music scene- by collaborating with local Baltimore-grown artists and musicians. (PS, if you think you fit the bill and would like to become involved, fellow artists and musicians, don’t hesitate to contact us!)
Tickets can be bought at the door or online. It’s pretty much going to be the best party ever. (Oh, and did we mention there may be a very special musical guest attending?)
See you there.
Gutter magazine’s own fashion editor Abdu Ali is creating his own blog- EatonThis.com to explore Baltimore’s grittier, edgy fashion, art, and music scene. In celebration, his launch party- “Faded Celebrity” will take place this Sunday, February 21, starting at 7 pm, at Sub-Basement studios. The event itself is sponsored by Gutter Magazine (sound familiar? Gutter’s own photographer J.M Giordano shot our spring Look Book,) Rendezvous Productions and Arizza Imaging. Major fashion icons such as M.I.A, Edie Sedgwick, and Grace Jones will provide the inspiration for the party’s live Model Installations. These fashions will be on display and smattered throughout the party. Art installations by Jeffrey Kent, Moe Bradford, Leamon Harris,Matthew Muirhead, & Nick Alexander Smith-Rengarts will accompany the fashion installations. This will be a fashion-arts-forward event you don’t want to miss!

Many members of the designer community will be present to support Ali, including… Natty Paint! We will be donning our fabulous gear of course. It will be an elite, funky gathering of some very important local and not-so-local celebrities, photographers, musicians, and fashionistas. Click here for more party details..Hope to see you there!
Friday’s photo shoot truly exceeded our expectations. While the weather may have been icy cold, the ensuing pictures came out hotter than Baltimore in July. To see the full gamut of photos, check out Natty Paint’s page on Facebook.
