So- Bill Murray’s lesser known co-star from ‘Mad Dog and Glory’ , Robert De Niro, finally gets some recognition around here!

De Niro Times Six! Is now up for sale in the Art Prints category in the Nakatomi Store!

It comes in a regular edition-

And a ‘Bobby’s got the Blues’ Glow in the dark version-

Both have slightly larger edition sizes than the previously FAST sold out Murray posters, but not by much.  Each poster is a four color silkscreen, designed by Tim Doyle, measuring 6×36, and is signed and numbered by the artist.  Orders for these should ship w/in 2 weeks!  There will NOT be a 2nd edition of this set.

And, if you’re interested, there are currently just 5 of the ‘Bill Murray Times Six’ 2nd edition prints left!

Okay, so it’s easily the most viewed video on YouTube this week, but I’m constantly amazed at what I think is permeating the public consciousness is actually known only to a small portion of the populance.  For example, please note my completely misunderstood ‘Peanut Butter Jelly Time‘ dance a few years back at a friend’s party…it was much funnier in my head, and of course saying ‘it’s a youtube thing’ doesn’t excuse stupid behavior.

BUT– I digress.

This is David.  David got high as a freaking kite on painkillers at the dentist.  And little David has no previous experience with narcotics.  Best part comes at the one minute mark.

That kid has a bright future ahead.

Tangent time- when my brother was a kid, he was on the playground at recess, and he had the bright idea to run UP the wide metal slide there.  On the way up, his well worn Keds failed to get traction, and down he went, face first into the metal.  He hit, impossibly, TEETH FIRST, and murdered his two front top teeth.  Cracked those fuckers in half.  So, he did the natural thing, and picked ‘em up, and went bleeding and crying on his way to the teacher.  On the way there he was stopped by one of his playmates, and seeing that my brother had precious cargo in his little hand, he slapped my bro’s hand, causing the teeth fragments to go flying into the loose gravel that the playground was built upon.  Needle in a haystack time.  I’m assuming those teeth are still there, 20 years later.  He got caps, and there wasn’t any real need for him to have those pieces of his teeth, but damn…kids are freaking awful.

Happy day!

Is this real life?

So, look at these beauties that turned up at my front door yesterday-

Damn those turned out nice.  Special thanks to the great folks over at D and L screenprinters for the great work as usual.

All orders have been packed and shipped…look for ‘em by the end of the week, or early next.  (Unless you live overseas, and that means 2 weeks?)

Check out our fancy Tube Caps-

And, once all orders were packed, we had a VERY SMALL amount of these left in each edition (like, 4-8 for each).  If you’re one of the people who were still looking for one of these, hop on over to the store’s ART PRINTS page and snatch one up!

And just to show you how much we love you, here’s a preview of the next one in the ACTOR TIMES SIX! set-

Deniro Times Six! Will drop later this week- sign up to the mailing list to get advance warning, and RSS this blog while you’re at it!

So I stumbled across this beautiful little piece of internet magic via a friend’s myspace bulletin, and well, it just seemed to blood clottingly delicious to not pass on. It’s called ThisIsWhyYoureFat.com and as far as blogs go (“The Stuff” excluded of course), it might just be at the top of the food chain…PUN INTENDED! With such delights as the coma inducing Double Bacon Hamburger Fatty Melt…

…to the heart-stopping Corn Dog Pizza…

…right down to the “I’m definitely gonna have a fucking heart attack after I eat this, but I don’t fucking care!” Hamdog. Which is, might I add, a hot dog wrapped in a beef patty that’s deep fried, covered with chili, cheese, onions, served on a hoagie bun topped with two fistfuls of fries and a fried egg. Please observe the glorious beast below…

All I can say is…God Bless America, we may be the fattest country in the world, but goddammit, WE DON’T CARE! Put some more fucking cheese on that pile of lard or the terrorists win!!!

Just a quickie reminder- there is just ONE WEEK LEFT for you guys out there in Nakatomi-land to pick up the first three entries in our Invitational series. Once midnight rolls around on Valentine’s Day, those posters and shirts will be gone forever!

If I get any emails from people saying ‘Oh dang, I missed out, do you have any left’ on the 15th, I’m buying a ticket, going to their house and eating their dog.

Serious.

Shepard Fairey is a ‘bit’ of a controversial figure in the art world.  If you’ve been living in Austin for the last 10 years like I have, you couldn’t have helped NOT seeing his OBEY and GIANT poster campaigns rip through the downtown area years ago.

Fairey being the master of the ‘underground’ poster campaign made him a natural choice for the Obama campaign when it came to picking an artist to tap for their central imagery-

Well, it seems that all the recent notoriety that Shepard has received (Deservedly so, that’s one badass poster) has re-opened some old wounds in people who still remember having to tear down his OBEY and GIANT posters in their ‘Keep Boston Beautiful’ Anti-Graffiti efforts.

On the way into one of his recent art openings in Boston, Shepard was arrested for what I’m assuming was some years-old postering.  Yikes.

Read the story here- http://www.thebostonchannel.com/news/18662913/detail.html

And while you’re at it, feel free to watch that video that is linked there.  And realize Shepard is 38.  And he looks a decade younger.  Think there’s something in the wheat paste?

Hmm…
