Hello Nakatomi world! There’s just a few days left for Mark Todd’s Invitational entry, so if you’ve been sitting around, contemplating whether you’d like to be awesome for the rest of your life or not…now’s the time to decide. Be awesome and pick up the poster or shirt…or be relegated to a life sans-awesomeness. Mark’s completely amazing entry into the “Tiny Showcase” print series was an instant sell out, as this kid is definitely going…
So, probably the greatest website I’ve ever seen in my life went offline in the last couple of months. Luckily, I realized its greatness and made my own backup copy. The site was called Otter’s Plushie Forest. And this is where I copied it… Visit Otter’s Plushie Forest Otter, wherever you are, you’re a genius… we miss you so much.

We are seriously screwed. Doomed. Effed. Like every other Hulk Hogan-fearing American, I get my news from the AIM Zone. If you don’t use AOL Instant Messenger, you’re able to function in daily life worth a damn. I don’t even chat in AIM, I just log in to get The News. Without AIM Zone, you’re as clueless as these two. Nice outfits, ladies. When you log in, your web browser is directed to the AIM…
Nakatomi founder, Tim Doyle is ON TOUR…managing the merch and sharing driving duties with his brother’s one-man band, Daniel Francis Doyle. AND- if you want to come out and press the flesh (ewww…) with either of these two hunks ‘o Doyle, come out to one of the shows! Daniel Francis Doyle is a one-man drumming/ live-guitar looping/ singing powerHAUS that must be seen to be believed. Like an avant-garde train-wreck with brief moments of beautiful…
I spent my Friday night taking pictures of toys and creating a comic strip that maybe one person in the world will get. I’m going to have a drink now.
For everyone who was waiting…WAIT NO MORE! From having to burn metal plates at the printer, to Daniel having to prep for 2 art shows on 2 continents…this took way too long, but it was well, well worth the wait. This letter press is truly a sight to behold, and a LUSH experience to touch! (Seriously…the printing on this thing…beauty!) All orders are packed, and will start shipping tomorrow! Thanks everyone who ordered, and we…
Man, I’ve been waiting months to use this image for Easter and almost forgot…it’s not a new one, but a goodie- Courtesy of THE INTERNET. But the fine thing is that ‘googling’ “Ghostbusters Jesus” shows that this has spurng into a little meme we can all take part in- Now that’s uh…amazing. Although, I think I like the more graphic nature of the 1st piece. And of course there’s the much easier GB/JC mash-up- Now,…
Here’s some good news, guys! For those of you patiently waiting for these prints- they are on their way! First up, the ‘Punch-Out at the Last Supper’ is here. This one was printed by the amazingly thorough Satch Grimley here in Austin. I actually sat in on the printing of this one, and let me say…Nakatomi will be using Satch a WHOLE lot more in the future. His shop is literally down the street from…
“In a consumer society there are inevitably two kinds of slaves: the prisoners of addiction and the prisoners of envy” – Ivan Illich “There’s a sucker born every minute” – P.T. Barnum As a lasting side effect of my love for copious amounts of hooch, I am fascinated by commercials for useless junk. Even before my days as the lovable town wino, I admired the complete zeal Ron “Hair in a Can” Popeil had for…
