5 out of 5 starsGeeky, sleek, and opaque. Came just as expected, but the image twists so it doesn’t always stay upright.

Most of Natalie's designs were done using Scratch art, a medium where black is scratched off to reveal the white under.
From Traveling Artist to Entrepreneur
Natalie McKean began to sell their art work on their first art tour in 2011. After the love and success they experienced in their travels, they decided to continue to do what made them happy and start selling online as well as festivals and fairs. They remained a traveling artist for several years, creating art and craft right out of their van.
In 2012 they met Donald Arrodondo, a San Francisco art student and together they began to collaborate on ideas and designs. When they began to experiment with screen printing Natalie's designs on t-shirts, it was quickly discovered that Donald had a natural ability to screen print and began to produce beautiful prints for them.
To this day Natalie continues to create new art and designs under their brand, Somnia City, (Somnia: A condition of or like sleep/dream state - City [informal]: A place or situation characterized by a specified attribute) and every t-shirt is still skillfully printed by Donald in their studio in San Francisco.
"We care immensely for our community and take care to give back locally, so almost all of our supplies and products come from local or Independent businesses. We are also environmentally conscious, using only non-toxic, water-based ink to hand screen-prints every one of our t-shirts in our studio.
Creating art is not only our passion but our means of life and therefore we are incredibly grateful for all who support our work."
