Awesome at Artscape

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.

Summer Photo Shoot!

We’ve been hard at work making the clothes for our in house line, working on more shirts and reworking some vintage clothes. We recently had a photo shoot to show off everything we’ve been doing. The photos were taken by Boy Toy.

You can find the entire lookbook on our Facebook page. Our items are also posted up on our Etsy.

Get your wallets ready, kids

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.

We expect to see you soon, hon!

Party Came and Went…

…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!

If you’re going to San Francisco, be sure to wear some Natty Paint silkscreened shirts…

Elated from our tres-successful boutique romp in NYC, we decided to pull a gold rush and head west. ALL the way west. That’s right, fans. California!

In good time, we too will be a part of the republic…

Tomorrow we are headed to the sunshine state. Goodbye boots and sweaters, hello rompers and sandals. What’s on the lineup? As of now, San Francisco, Berkeley, and Los Angeles. From Telegraph Avenue to Santa Monica and back to Haight Ashbury, there will be plenty of opportunities to show the left coast what Bmore fashion is all about and sell our stuff in these radical West Coast cities.

All the elements that make Natty Paint just so Natty are undeniably compatible with the California lifestyle and its general fashion outlook. We can practically smell success in the land of milk and honey. (And burritos. What’s there not to love?)

We’ll keep you updated!

Defining Baltimore’s Fashion Scene one Natty Paint tee at a time….

Finally we can bask in the glory of another blog about Natty Paint. Towson University’s own Paulette W, or should we say, Ms. Charm’s Chic (her blog-psuedonym) dedicated her latest blog entry to Natty Paint; outlining both our humble beginnings and grandiose future plans. The blog’s main focus is to define Baltimore’s fashions scene- and lucky us- she certainly considers Natty Paint an important and evolving element of Baltimore style.

She even claims we are ready to “make the switch from a local phenomenon to a national phenomenon.” We are optimistic about this! Thanks so much for the shout-out Paulette!

And don’t forget to check out her blog and stay tuned for more exciting (or Natty) updates!

Photos from Look Book Shoot!

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.

Behind the Scenes

Here are some pics from the look book shoot on Friday with J.M. Giordano of Gutter Mag.  The weather was nearly arctic, but our fresh designs warmed everybody up (The coffee could have helped too…)

Mmm…roast beef, turkey, brie, & hummus sandwiches!

Natty Paint Spring Photo Shoot Tomorrow!

Bid today’s blistery cold adieu and say hello to spring! In tomorrow’s photo shoot Natty will showcase its bold, punchy, Spring Collection for its upcoming lookbook. Whimsical and colorful, it’s just enough heat to get you through the frosty day. Natty is compiling its collection in tomorrow’s shoot in Charles Village and other Bmore favorite spots: ranging from the colorful bubbly to the grittier and grungier. We can’t wait to document Natty’s distinct flair in some of our favorite neighborhood spots. Lovely models, daring designs, edgy landscape…could you really ask for more?

Check out our fabulous and talented photographer J.M. Giordano’s website (with Gutter magazine) at www.jmgiordano.com for a sneak peek of the urban cool to come. Also, Natty does custom order and will tweak designs to your preference. So there’s really no reason not to Natty!
