Anville approached us in Flatstock Austin and let us know what a big fan he was. What he didn’t know is that we were already a big fan of his. (Keep it a secret…we don’t want him getting a big head.) That mutual appreciation society has borne fruit. Stainless steel fruit, traveling at 88mph. The above detail shot is from a larger print that will go on sale to the Nakatomi mailing list later this…
Originally done as an album cover design, Doyle has re-tasked this image as an art print! Featuring our favorite Time Traveler, ‘Tempus Fugit’ is a four color (with metallic ink) screenprint, available in four different colorways! Each color is limited to just 30 copies each, signed and numbered by the artist, and is in hand and ready to ship! Check it out now in the Nakatomi Store! -alex fugazi
Hey! Cleaning up the Nakatomi Studio here, and I noticed, we sure do have a TON of original artwork just sitting around in a pile in the corner… So, instead of us pulling a Steve Ditko and using ’em for blotter paper (seriously, he used the original artwork for his Spider-Man run as scrap paper…crazy balls) we’re giving the public their chance to lay hands on this stuff! At the very least, the gallery we…
This is the second and final installment of the process thread for the printing of “The Sea Also Rises: Interlude- The Camino Cats Make Their Escape” Read the first part HERE. 4th screen- Red now down- reg is looking hot. The Texas weather can be a real bitch when screen printing, as the humidity can cause the paper to swell up, throwing reg off. But it looks like the Texas weather gods smiled on us…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
