Hey! I forgot how completely awesome process threads are. Luckily, Jay Ryan and Aaron Horkey stepped up and did an amazing one, and made me realize- oh yeah, I’m stupid for not doing this more. Those cats are really, really bad. I had the general idea for this a few months back and once I sat down to start drawing it, it went in a slightly different direction than I started. I really didn’t plan…
Return of the MYSTERIOUS TUBES!
Man, has it been over 4 months since our last one already? Time flies when you’re traveling through time in a Delorean. We here at Nakatomi Print Labs print a LOT of stuff. And printing leads to mis-prints. Some misprints are just too ‘almost perfect’ to throw out. OTHERS are used as test sheets and printed over top of a whole bunch making unique one-of a kind prints. Those are the scratch/dents! ALMOST perfect, but…
Freebie Superheroes, Part 1
There was a time not too terribly long ago when Marvel Comics would have done anything for money. This includes publishing special freebie issues peddling any good or service that coughed up the dough. Spidey sold AIM toothpaste (no, not Advance Idea Mechanics brand – nerd), the X-Men dropped in on the Texas State Fair, and the Hulk waxed on about the comfort of Soft-E Intrusion suppositories. But it was a rare event when the…
April/May Invitational- Nick Derington!
Dang, has it been 8 months already? The final entry in the 8 month long Nakatomi Invitational Season 2 is here! Nick Derington’s excellent print ‘Stranger’ is a moody little bit of sci-fi as still life. And, like all invitational releases, this print comes along with a paired t-shirt- And it glows in the dark, too! The print is 18×24 hand printed, and signed and numbered by the artist. Like the previous 7 entries, this…
“The Coming Storms” art print by Tim Doyle
Because YOU demanded it- Tim Doyle recently opened up his personal Vaults and sold out of his pre-Nakatomi prints, and ONE IN PARTICULAR evaporated instantly, and we got quite a few emails asking for a re-print. WELL- that’s the point of a gigposter, you can’t reprint it…it’s for THAT gig. But, since the art stands just fine on it’s own…no reason not to make some happy peoples out there. At half the size of the…
New Free poster! Alex Murphy rides again!
You MAY have noticed but we here at Nakatomi like giving you guys things. FREE things. The nice bit about owning a print shop is whatever crazy thing we want to make…it’s done faster than it probably should be…not giving us adequate time to think things through. Sigh. We try to put an exclusive mini-print or handbill in w/ each order, just recently we had the test print “Sid and Nancy Reagan” and we JUST…
Ginormous Tim Doyle interview from Drymounted.com
A couple of weeks ago, Derek over at Drymounted.com had an open call to his readers for questions to be posed to me, with the top few questions that got the most votes would get answered. But because I love to hear my own voice, I said I’d answer them all. So, reprinted with permission, here is way more information than you wanted to know about me- 1. What advice can you give to artists…
