Paul Pope’s new print, ‘Crepax’ is finally here!  Available in a regular (pictured above) and variant edition (below) the prints were printed in-house at Nakatomi Print Labs.  The regular print is numbered in an edition of 140, and Nakatomi will only have 20 of the variant edition for sale!  (Please note- if you had ordered the ‘Belltower’ print, you will be receiving the variant edition in your order, shipping now!)

Both prints are IN HAND and will ship immediately.

Paul is donating 100% of his proceeds from the sale of these prints to the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund- CBLDF.org.  As a former Comic Book retailer myself, I am thrilled to help use Nakatomi’s resources to contribute to this cause!

The same art is also available on a 100% cotton t-shirt in men’s and women’s sizes, in a black or mint color tee-

And last but not least, for those of you who missed out the first time around, we have a VERY SMALL number of the ‘Bell Tower’ print from last season’s Invitational up in the Regular and  Wood editions in the Paul Pope section of the Nakatomi Store.

Thank you and stay tuned for more Pope projects down the road on Nakatomi!

Aaaaaahhhhh…the smell of fresh Pope.  Just arrived from D and L printing today, the Long-awaited (like, REALLY long awaited) Paul Pope Yojimbo / The Belltower prints are here in hand, and are being packed and shipped as we speak.

A big ‘ol stack of Pope wood prints.  It’s like Christmas, but better…’cause we’re all getting what we really wanted, and not a bunch of socks and ‘fullscreen’ versions of movies.

For all of you out there who made the long, long wait for these, we’re going to be throwing in FOR FREE one variant edition of Paul’s new print for us into each order going out the door.  This ‘freebie’ will also be available in a regular and variant edition later on this week, AS WELL as the few extra copies we have of ‘The Bell Tower’ to sell.

Again, thanks all, and stay tuned to this spot (or our TWITTER feed!) for news on the new drop!  (Seriously looking like Thursday at this point)

Can’t clown, eat will sleep me.

Clicky image and then hit ‘all sizes’ on the Flickr page for a HUGE pic!

“The Sea Also Rises: Incident 6- the King of Crabs Claims His Throne” by Tim Doyle.

Now, why oh why is Tim Doyle just freaking cranking these things out, forgoing food and sleep?  Well, in about 6 weeks, he’s expecting his first baby, and PROBABLY won’t be getting much drawing done for a while.  So, we’re stockpiling the art now, as THE SPICE MUST FLOW.

This is the follow up print to the NOW SOLD OUT “Sea Also Rises: Incident 19- the 14th St. Station Squid” by Doyle and Tong.

(Now, I say sold out, but just at Naktomi- Kevin Tong still has very few available HERE)

‘Crab King’ will not only be available soon on this site (probably before the last 3 previews you’ve seen here!) but it will also soon be the cover to an issue of The Austin Chronicle!  That issue SHOULD have a screen printing article in it from W.A. Brenner!  Follow us on Twitter, Facebook, mailing list…whatever…just don’t miss this release!

ps- in case you were wondering, that El Camino rolling away from the Crab King is the SAME El Camino as featured in the ‘Camino Cats’ print that will be out soon as well.  It’s almost like we’re telling a story or something here!

So, a lot of my day-to-day is spent looking through old comic books. Yeah, I live the American Dream. Anyways, I came across this ad for a classic toy. Enjoy!

Wait, what do you mean that was “anything but heterosexual?” G.I. Joe is army tough! He’s an American icon that represents the spirit of manliness. Don’t believe me? Fine. I’ve taken snippets of text from that ad and placed them in screenshots of the greatest war documentary of all time… Predator. Now we’ll see who’s a man’s man and who isn’t.

See? Now that’s TOUGH.

This article written with apologies to the war heroes Jesse “the Body” Ventura and Action Jackson.

Shudder.

Apparently, this is from some lady’s Flickr feed- this lady makes custom clothes for her dolls.  Check her out HERE.

I don’t know about you guys, but dolls really creep me the hell out.  I blame it on that old Burgess Meredith film, MAGIC.  Check it-

Uuuuhhhhhhhhhhggggh.  That’s still got power over me, like 25 years later.

I did think it was neat that the above lady was making those shirts, and asked her about making me a tiny one too.  And then I had to convince her that the design was in fact by Nakatomi, and wasn’t available at Hot Topic last year.  (Seriously, she swears up and down this is from a Hot Topic shirt).

Gah!  I can’t stop looking at those dead soulless eyes!  Undo!  Undo!

Hello Nakatomi Peoples!  If you’re already on the mailing list, no problem.  If you’re NOT…problem.  Tomorrow we’ll have a mailing list exclusive print drop- this print will never be for sale on Nakatomi’s site- if you miss out, we’ll MAYBE have copies at Flatstock  Austin 2010.  But no promises, eh?  And, to make it crazier- we’ll only have 20 of these for sale.  Tomorrow noonish (CST) we’ll send out an email w/ an image and payment instructions.
