Happy Gang of Cacti (June 2016)

We're such huge fans of artist Sarah Neuburger, and were thrilled to be able to collaborate with her on June's Curated Tee design. Sarah is incredibly multi-talented - she is a designer, maker, business owner and illustrator.

"I do lots of things but work for myself doing them all. I design objects things we use everyday. I make things like small figures to put on cakes for weddings and birthdays. I own my own online business called The Small Object since 2004. Plus, I’m an illustrator! I have published several fingerprint activity books with Chronicle Books and worked with many clients on drawing things they need."

For this month's tee we took inspiration from our early Curated days and went back to using our super soft tri-blend tees (you won't believe how comfy they are). Sarah chose a grass green color for our onesies, an athletic blue for our smaller sized tees, and a lovely jade green for our three bigger sizes. Her design, which is printed in four bold colors, features a happy little cactus family.

"I chose to draw a cactus family for my shirt design. Originally, I was thinking it would be fun to draw a cactus and write “HUG ME” underneath it because you really should not hug a cactus. It would hurt. A lot. But we want hugs! I want hugs! So I turned the cactus into a big happy gang of cacti who are the best of friends."
