urbanyetti by Ami Kealoha

Apparently, mythological creatures aren't only found in forests and lakes these days. Urbanyetti has been sited in cities worldwide, on t-shirts, and on this (suitably scared-looking) baby's onesie. The brainchild of San Francisco-based artist and one-time Nickolodeon prop designer Aaron Terry, adult sizes come in either black or baby blue, onesies are on soft white, and they're all silkscreened on 100% cotton American Apparel. The urbanyetti also comes in three dimensions as a limited edition toy that Terry handmade from wood. Part of Project Spera, an organization that works with youth to increase global awareness.
