POP SUB VOL 5- GEOF DARROW!

From Tim Doyle- “Geof Darrow is without a doubt, my favorite comic book artist. His work influenced me HEAVILY at a young age- I read his Hard Boiled comic when I was about 12, and it really kinda messed me up in the most special way possible. So when Aye Jay told me he got Geof to contribute to this month’s release, I was super-floored. I am very, very proud to present this set to the Nakatomi Nation!”

Instead of our normal 7″ print set, we went BIG BIG this time around with Geof’s amazing print, and upsized it to a glorious 12″ square, and printed it on super-fine French Paper Speckletone!  Includes two standard sized prints by Aye Jay featuring everyone’s favorite ‘Draw This Turtle’ through Aye Jay’s particular cracked lens!

You get 3 great prints packed in custom printed 12″ chipboard record jackets- all in matched numbered sets- edition of 100!  Here’s a peek at the jackets, fresh from printing!- with Doyle turtle art!

Sets are available for purchase RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW!

BERNIE WRIGHTSON PRINT SUBSCRIPTIONS!

Nakatomi is proud to continue our relationship with Illustrator-supreme, Bernie Wrightson, and his Frankenstein Print Series!  After selling out of the first two releases, we solicited feed-back from our customers and as a result, we’re happy to present the WRIGHTSON FRANKENSTEIN PRINT SUBSCRIPTION!

On Tuesday, 5/14 between Noon and 2PM Central Time, we’ll offer up 175 subscriptions to the next 5 screen-printed art-prints in the series for $230 plus shipping. The Subscriptions will be available for 24 hours, or when 175 are sold, whichever comes first.

The subs will include exclusives that will only be available to those purchasing the set, never for sale on the site! -

“Perished on the Scaffold“- 20×30 print- max edition of 175. (Limited to the number of Subs sold)
6″ Exclusive sticker of the Monster
9×12 print of the title page to Wrightson’s Illustrated Edition of Frankenstein- also max edition of 175.

The subscriptions will ship out in 3 tubes- 2 prints per tube. The first tube will ship out with the exclusives and the next print in the series- “Rest but in Death”- pictured below-

Two months later in July, you will receive the next 2, and again two months after that in September.  Each print will be in signed and hand-numbered editions!

One of the prints in the subscription will be a beautiful image of the Monster that was cut from the original book, and rarely seen since it was drawn by Wrightson- over 30 years ago.  All the art files are in hand, and ready to print- there will be no delays in fulfillment!

Here’s the first print, waiting to be purchased in our Flat-Files!

Subscriptions will be for sale HERE on Tuesday between Noon and 2PM Central Time.
The remaining copies of “Rest But In Death” will be for sale the following Wednesday the 15th for $50 at the same link.

Note on Shipping- because you’re ordering 3 tubes with the subscription, there will be an additional shipping fee added on with purchase.

Thank you all from Nakatomi and Bernie Wrightson!

Doctor Who and the Daleks!

Tim Doyle’s Doctor Who print for the Studio Canal Doctor Who movie from the 60′s is now an official DVD/ Blu-Ray cover! How crazy is that?!?

These should be available shortly- no word on if there’s an all-region release, or if it’s UK only, but we’ll keep you posted!

If you live in the UK and still need a copy of the original print, Under The Floorboards will have ‘em at their conventions this Summer- you can see their schedule HERE. 

We also have a TINY TINY bit of AP’s here, so if you’re interested, just give us an email through the contact form!

Here’s a special behind the scenes look into how this print / image was made!

When I first got the gig, I was a fan of the Doctor, but hadn’t seen this film in about 20 years or so- luckily, the older non-restored version was still available on Amazon, so I gave it a spin! My good friend, and Doctor Who expert, Paul Hanley had a model of the particular Daleks as seen in this movie, so he was able to lend it to me so I could shoot my own reference!  Next I made a collage of how I wanted everything arranged, so I could send it to the client and make sure they were happy with the direction I had chosen-

The Daleks were shot from the model, and the rest of the elements were from either screen-grabs from the DVD, or google-image search.  This was approved, but I still needed a solid reference for Peter Cushing as the doctor, standing tall (ish) as I couldn’t find one in the film that fit the bill. I wanted to make sure I got his build right- even as an outline, I needed to make sure it still ‘read’ as Cushing.  Off to Google again!

Strangely, the best image I could find was a drawing by Paul Hanley- my friend who loaned me the Dalek model to begin with!  Crazy.  Paul’s a killer artist who’s done a ton of Who work- You should totally check out his Deviant Art page HERE.  Not only is Paul responsible for my new-found Who obsession, but he was a big help with this print!

So, from that collage, I created this hand-drawn line-art image-

(If you’re interested in the Original Art, it is currently available in my eBay store- just scroll down)

Which was then scanned in and colored and separated in Photoshop for printing, and then printed in my shop- so we arrive at THIS-

Pretty neat, huh?

Thanks to Under the Floorboards for the gig, and thanks to Studio Canal for thinking the image was neat enough for a DVD!
