Boris the Blue Whale!

Boris will be available at NAKATOMI in the usual sets of a 12×12 print, a 5×5 print and a sticker all in one nice package!

If you’re local in Austin, you’ll also be able to pick him up from Parts And Labour on South Congress!

Here’s what he had to say to Slashfilm’s Germain Lussier about it-

“The idea behind this one was to mimic what is essentially a running kind of joke on AD- the zoom-out, pull-away gag, showing the same scene from a different angle, or slowly revealing the entirety of a scene and the actors present- for comedic effect. My hope is that the people who own the original Banana Stand print from last year’s show will put this one right next to it- causing general confusion and awkward questions. This was ALMOST the print I did for this year’s UnReal Estate 2 show, but decided to go with the Model Home instead.  But after slamming Season 4 into my brain, and it’s very un-traditional structure- retreading the same material time and again from different perspectives, GOB’s Banana Shack just made more sense to me.  I did in fact re-draw the left side of the print by hand, re-tracing my own steps from almost 2 years previous. Which made me think about show-revivals and how set builders have to re-trace their steps and plans to resurrect a show like this- to make everything the same. SAME. ANYWAY- I could ramble, but I believe that would be a huge mistake. “

So…it’s a ROOFIE CIRCLE of a print set.

You can pick the new one up RIGHT NOW on the SpokeArt site HERE.

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!
