Clint Wilson is having his yearly tube sale, and THIS time around, he’s bringing the HEAT!

Not only is Clint practically giving away prints at $50 for a tube of 5 prints, but EVERY tube sold will have one amazing print from his personal collection!

What’s IN SAID COLLECTION, you ask?

You know, stuff like THIS-

Clint has been working in print shops off and on for years now, and back before he helped start the Nakatomi Print Lab, he worked at the local shop- Obsolete printing. AND, while there, he managed to amass quite the collection of oddities, rarities, and things like printer’s proofs and test sheets!  Not to mention his straight up personal collection he’s throwing in!  Back in ’08, Obey/Giant sent a big-ass stack of these HOPE prints to Obsolete to paste up around Austin, and as a thank-you to the staff, the story goes, Shepard allowed the people to keep a couple each for themselves!

Below is a pic of Clint pasting some of these up for proof!

(Clint is the taller, thinner, younger guy on the right)

So, you might say, this poster is obviously an insane deal, (seriously, have you seen the aftermarket prices on these things?)  but what else you throwing in there, guys?

Here’s a few pics of what was just on top of this particular stack of goodness!

I asked Clint to give us a quickie run down of what artists’ prints he had off the top of his head, and this is what he came back with-

A couple different Fairey pieces, including the HOPE print,  Some Aaron Horkey prints, Brad Klausen Tron Alamo poster, Olly Moss test sheets,  some Jad Fair, Luke Cheuh, Daniel Johnston, several David Flores, Evan B. Harris, Buff Monster, Dalek, Jay Ryan, Kevin Tong, Jon Smith, Dan Grzeca, Anville’s Delorean on Foil, Dave Kinsey, some different Jermaine Rogers prints, Michael Sieben, 2 Cent, etc…

Keep in mind, this is just the TOP of the stack. He’s got 250 of these to give away, and one is going in EVERY tube ordered through this tube sale!

We will have 250 tubes. Each tube will contain 5 posters total.  One of them will be from the ‘special’ stack of awesome. The other 4 will be prints by Clint, from way back when he first started printing to whatever he did last year!

ON SALE INFO-

These will go up between NOON and 12:30 CST on the Nakatomi site in the CLINT WILSON section of the store tomorrow (as this is being written), Tuesday the 24th.  We will post a direct link here when it goes live, but the fastest way to find out is on TWITTER. (follow us, dummy!)

THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW-

-You can order as many tubes as you’d like.  If you order more than 1 though, we might not be able to avoid giving you duplicates.  We will do our best, though.

-You can only order one tube PER order. That means if you want 2, you’d have to go through the system and place a new order. Because we only charge shipping once per order, ($8.99 US, $14.99 Canada, $19.99 World) for posters, that’s what it costs us to ship to you. If you ordered 10 tubes and only paid $8.99 shipping, we’d get hosed. So order as many times as you like, but only one tube per order. Hope that was clear.

Okay, see you guys in the afternoon!

Hey gang! If you haven’t heard of Star Wars Uncut, then prepare to have your minds blown!  From the Youtube description-

“n 2009, Casey Pugh asked thousands of Internet users to remake “Star Wars: A New Hope” into a fan film, 15 seconds at a time. Contributors were allowed to recreate scenes from Star Wars however they wanted. Within just a few months SWU grew into a wild success. The creativity that poured into the project was unimaginable.

SWU has been featured in documentaries, news features and conferences around the world for its unique appeal. In 2010 we won a Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Creative Achievement In Interactive Media.

Finally, the crowd-sourced project has been stitched together and put online for your streaming pleasure. The “Director’s Cut” is a feature-length film that contains hand-picked scenes from the entire StarWarsUncut.com collection.

Many thanks to Aaron Valdez (video editor – http://www.aaronvaldez.com) and Bryan Pugh (sound design/mixing – http://www.pughtube.com) for the countless hours they put into this masterpiece.

We can’t thank everyone enough for making this such a special project.”

Jacob Borshard’s 15 second FULLY ANIMATED bit starts at 14:02, and it’s a special subtitled take on what the local droids think of ‘Old Ben Kenobi!’  (pictured below)

Heck, for fun, he even created this fake poster for ‘film’ of what the Jawa captured droids were up to that day!

Congrats to Jacob for being included, and congrats to the entire crazy beautiful production!

Here at Nakatomi, we get emails pretty regularly asking us if we allow local in-store pick up.  Well- the problem is we have NO STORE!  We run out of a front room and garage in Tim Doyle’s house.  (For now at least, big announcement on that soon.) 

But what we do have is a few retail outlets that carry our prints, (along with some long sold-out prints) here in Austin and abroad!  A lot of these places we stock up, and they sell inventory slightly slower than our own site, so they’ll have prints long after we’re sold out at times!  Make sure you call ‘em before you head out!

Here’s a quick list- if we forget someone, please email us and we’ll add you in!

In Austin-

Parts and Labour/ Shark Attack- 1117 S. Congress. Website- http://partsandlabour.blogspot.com/ 

Not only does Parts and Labour carry a TON of prints and stickers and comics by Doyle, but also a large selection of prints by Clint Wilson, Jacob Borshard, and several other local artists as well! 

Austin Books and Comics- 5002 N. Lamar. Website- http://www.austinbooks.com/

They have a small rack of prints by the back issues full of Tim Doyle prints, along with a regularly-rotating nerd-art gallery in the back!  Also- they have a small selection of the Hot ‘N Nerdy film festival prints that they commissioned and we sold out of months back!

Blue Genie OASIS- (Pictured Above) 6550 Comanche Trail Ste 203, Austin, TX 78732.  Website- http://bluegenieoasistexas.com/about/

By far the biggest display and selection of Nakatomi prints here in Austin, but also in the most beautiful location! The Oasis is a crazy-restaurant/shopping area in Northwest Austin, overlooking a beautiful cliff and lakeview with stunning sunsets!  Head out there, chow down, and pick up some prints!  These are the same guys who put on the crazy annual X-mas Bazaar we participate in!

Poster Cabaret- 900 E. 6th Street, Suite #103.  Website- http://postercabaret.com/

Poster Cabaret’s Austin location is a staggering array of prints and original art that has to be seen to be believed!  I have never seen that much art in one location, even including a FLATSTOCK convention!  I don’t think they’re open all week, but shoot them an email or swing on by if you’re downtown during the day! They have a large selection of Doyle prints that can also be found on their excellent website- merely a drop in their giant collection!

In Houston-

Space Montrose- 2608 Dunlavy St, Houston TX. 77006   Website- http://www.whosinspace.com/

This newish shop in Houston reached out to us, and it’s been a great relationship so far!  While we’ve yet to actually visit, they sure do seem to sell a lot of our stuff, so swing out and tell ‘em we said ‘Hi!’

Outside the US-

Paris, France- French Paper Art Club- 14, rue Deguerry 75011 Paris, France  Website- www.frenchpaperartclub.com

This gallery carries a good selection of movie prints and 12×24 art prints by Tim Doyle! 

London, England-Flood Gallery- 8 Greenwich Market London SE10 9HZ.  Website- http://thefloodgallery.com/

This rocking new gallery has a fine selection of movie prints and 12×24 art prints by Doyle!  Can’t wait to work with these guys some more.

Japan- SOON!  A new gallery is opening up in Japan this Spring and they currently have a large collection of Tim Doyle and Clint Wilson prints ready to roll!  We’ll keep you updated.

KEEP IN MIND-

This is just the galleries and shops that have brick and mortar stores, there’s also a long list of webstores that carry our prints as well- we’ll list them in a post soon!  Most of these shops also do have a website you can shop at as well. We highly suggest before you make the trek to any of these places you give them a buzz before you head on over to check inventory! 

WANT TO BE ON THIS LIST?

Have a brick and mortar store?  Shoot us an email through the contact form and we’ll get back to you with info regarding wholesale pricing.

From artist Clint Wilson comes even more awesome than usual with these 3 new prints!

Above is pictured his print for Cirque Du Soleil’s performance last month in Houston- this 4 color 18×24 print is a collab w/ artist Tessa Morrison, and is signed and numbered out of 100!

The two charming prints above were produced for Spoke Art’s annual ‘Bad Dads’ Wes Anderson tribute show!
