Kristian Donaldson is a REALLY GOOD comic book artist and designer out of Dallas. Having worked with Brian Wood on DMZ and Supermarket, Peter David on Fallen Angel as well as an upcoming book from Vertigo, Kristian is truly- the tits. When he contacted Nakatomi to print his posters for last week’s STAPLE! comic convention here in Austin, and we saw the art, we knew we had to grab him and squeeze him and love…
Great Minds Think Alike. A few weeks back, I called Omar Hauksson, and I said “I want to do a Zombie Jesus print for Easter. Do you want to create the image?” And Omar said- “I already have one made.” That means this print was…destiny. Romero 3:16 is a 16×22 silkscreen print, in a hand-numbered edition of 150, and is in hand and ready to ship in time for you to have in your undead…
This Saturday in Austin, TX is the annual STAPLE! Independent Press Expo- Austin’s ONLY comic book convention. (At least until Wizard World Austin starts…in case you haven’t had your fill of broken down 80’s TV and porn stars yet) And as a part of the Expo, Nakatomi will be splitting a table w/ The Intergalactic Nemesis- which is the Live-Action Comic-Book featuring art from Tim Doyle! If you come to the Expo, you’ll be able…
MAHFOOD! MAHFOOD! MAHFOOD! Jim Mahfood’s art will wreck you like a shark with nunchucks! (Yes, that shark has nunchucks, and he will wreck you.) Jim’s graced the Invitational with a shirt/poster set that will smack you around and call you silly. Jim is a art MACHINE, designing murals for the Sarah Silverman Show, drawing CLERKS comics for Kevin Smith, as well as publishing his own Grrl Scouts, Kick Drum Comix, and my personal favorite, STUPID…
The Appleseed Cast is a killer band out of Kansas, and Nakatomi’s Tim Doyle was tapped to do the poster for their Austin Texas show on last Saturday (2/27/10). And since we loved the image so much, we’ve also released it as a text-less art print! See BIG BIG images of these in our Flickr Feed! Both posters are 12×24 GLOW IN THE DARK screenprints, signed and numbered by the artist and printed right here…
For those of you not following us or Doyle on TWITTER or FACEBOOK, or even the new web-app that lets you stare at us as we sleep, you might not know that Tim Doyle is doing all the art chores on the trans-media comic/play/ live-action Graphic Novel, The Intergalactic Nemesis! Issue one is already drawn and printed, Issue two is at the printer’s right now, and he’s wrapping up the last few pages on issue…
Archie comics are completely wholesome, right? This is from an actual Archie cover from the 80s, untouched. In the name of Jughead’s crown, how did this make it through editorial? Love that Dan DeCarlo pinup girl art on the secretary, though.
Ah, Valentine’s Day. How you hold a special place in my heart-shaped box. In celebration of the day that brings people closer together (if you know what I mean), I’m going to post a short story I wrote for the Austin Chronicle contest – accompanied with some classic arcade images. It didn’t go anywhere in the contest, so their loss is Nakatomi Inc.’s questionable gain. I mean come on, a girl humps a Galaga machine……
Just say NO to the Bollocks. Long time friend of the site, Icelandic movie poster artist, rock-star, and international film blogger, Omar Hauksson (aka Swarez), brings us this amazing pop-culture mash-up from a world that never was! THIS is the Sid and Nancy biopic that I want to see! (And seriously, Omar is all those things. Google that shit.) This 16×20 screen print is hand numbered in an edition of 200, for just $10, available…
CRAIG MCCRACKEN! I’ve been wanting to scream that out for a while. I’ve been following Craig’s work since he first showed up on the Space-Ghost hosted ‘What a Toon’ which featured the debut of the first PowerPuff Girls short, as well as Craig wearing a scuba mask and flippers while winning the fashion portion of the contest. (Don’t ask.) So when he agreed to be a part of this season of the Invitational, I realized…
