Good news!  All pre-orders for Anville’s DMC-12 have shipped out the door, and are on their way to you.  Like the last few pre-sells we’ve done, this was a huge hit, and we thank you all for the orders!  If you missed out (and shame on you if you did,) Nakatomi is now selling our remaining copies in our store.

DMC-12 is an 18×24 6 color hand-pulled silkscreen print featuring metallic and fluorescent inks.  This edition is signed and numbered by the artist out of 100.  These turned out just beautiful in person, with popping colors and tight registration.

The metallic edition of this print was only for the mailing list members.  If you’d like to be in the loop on future mailing list exclusive prints…then JOIN THE MAILING LIST.

Nakatomi artists Clint Wilson and Tim Doyle were contacted a while back to contribute to the annual No Fin, No Future art show put on by PangeaSeed in Japan. The art show is almost upon us, and we’re just giving everyone a heads up to keep your eyes peeled on PangeaSeed’s site to see what other awesome prints and paintings will be popping up soon.

Here’s a sneak peek at Clint Wilson’s print!-

PangeaSeed is a grassroots Japanese organization to help combat the brutal act of ‘finning’ Sharks- essentially just killing these magnificent creatures for their fin cartilage.  In Asia, the Shark fin is prized for its use in Shark Fin Soup, as well as it’s ‘magical medicinal properties.’  Which, suffice to say, is completely disgusting.

As some of you might know, Nakatomi founder Tim Doyle is a hard-ass when it comes to science and medicine, and had this to say-

“Hello Nakatomi peoples- a few years ago, there was the idea going around that because sharks didn’t get cancer, that if you ATE shark…you’d be able to fight cancer better, or not get it at all.  Now, that makes about as much sense as me eating Kobe Bryant to slam dunk better.  And, a lot of ‘alternative’ medicines and treatments popped up exploiting this myth.  Well, the nice thing about science is that it can easily disprove this- and it did.  But that doesn’t stop the practice. And one last scientific point- even if the slaughter of Sharks for well…nothing…doesn’t get you interested, keep this in mind- Sharks are a top-level predator in our ocean.  We don’t eat sharks for the same reason we don’t eat Tigers or Lions.  If you remove the top level eaters out of an ecosystem, you get population blooms in fish lower down on the food chain, which then over eat fish even lower on the food chain, which then means that there’s no base-level food, and the whole food chain in the ocean collapses, and then you’re stuck in a world without fish.  And considering there’s a good oh say…EVERYONE in the world that depends on seafood as part of ALL of their diet, you’d get massive starvation and death in the human population.  So…stop fucking eating the sharks, okay?

So Join PangeaSeed and Nakatomi and countless other artists, organizations, and all around GOOD PEOPLE and give Sharks a chance.

OH- AND SIGN THIS PETITION!

Thank you!

“Here’s to swimmin with bow-legged women.”

It’s coming! It’s almost here!

As you can see from the above photo, we’re trucking on the printing of Anville’s Nakatomi mailing list exclusive print, DMC-12.  Above is the regular edition, with 3 colors down.  “3 colors, you say? But I see 4 colors?”  Well, yes- the purple there is the bright blue over top of the fluorescent pink!  Pretty rad, eh?

Click any of the Photos to be taken to our FLICKR page to see BIGGER images and more images!

Here’s the metallic ‘currency paper’ edition, with 4 colors down.  (The white had to be printed in lieu of the metallic silver ink on the regular edition).

All in all, we’re shooting to finish up on Wednesday of this week, Anville will drive into town to do the signing and numbering over the weekend, and these will ship out the door come Monday the 21st!

If you missed out on the Mailing List pre-sell of this print, you’ll get another chance  at the regular edition later on when we put any remaining copies from the print run on sale after all the others have shipped out!  The metallic edition was mailing list exclusive, though.  If you want to make sure you don’t miss out on these pre-sells we do, join the mailing list HERE.

We here at Nakatomi believe that pre-selling prints like this is the BEST way to do these high-profile releases- YOU get what you want, guaranteed.  There’s no endless sitting in front of your screen all day, hitting F5, there’s no-one left out, NO HEARTBREAK.

Nakatomi- we love you more.
