Shudder. Apparently, this is from some lady’s Flickr feed- this lady makes custom clothes for her dolls. Check her out HERE. I don’t know about you guys, but dolls really creep me the hell out. I blame it on that old Burgess Meredith film, MAGIC. Check it- Uuuuhhhhhhhhhhggggh. That’s still got power over me, like 25 years later. I did think it was neat that the above lady was making those shirts, and asked her…
Mailling list exclusive print tomorrow (Friday)
Hello Nakatomi Peoples! If you’re already on the mailing list, no problem. If you’re NOT…problem. Tomorrow we’ll have a mailing list exclusive print drop- this print will never be for sale on Nakatomi’s site- if you miss out, we’ll MAYBE have copies at Flatstock Austin 2010. But no promises, eh? And, to make it crazier- we’ll only have 20 of these for sale. Tomorrow noonish (CST) we’ll send out an email w/ an image and…
Billions and Billions of Beats
I’m a science nerd. Since leaving formalized education, my thirst for knowledge and understanding has increased geometrically. Kinda makes you wonder what the hell was wrong with Public Education that made me COMPLETELY uninterested in science in school. (Possible answer- the problem might have been me.) But- no-one makes the beauty and wonder of science come alive more than Carl Sagan. And nothing makes Carl Sagan come alive more than an ethereal piano melody and…
The Colonel’s Secret Japanese Recipe
Back in January, WE REPORTED on how Robocop is stealing fried chicken and refrigerators in Korea. I apparently underestimated Asia’s true love and respect for what we here in America commonly refer to the GROSSEST CHEAPEST FOOD IN THE WORLD. What you’re about to see is an unexplainable Kit-Kat commercial featuring the cutest little girl in the world marching with the British Royal Guard, who apparently love’s them some Chocolate-Covered-Cookies, followed by the most holy,…
Mer-Man attacks, and a New Times Table by Jacob B!
Here’s Jacob Borshard, signing off on his newest Nakatomi Release, “The Sinking of the Oruko Ship” You can see some freaky-big images of this on our FLICKR feed HERE.

Print Preview- Camino Cats by Tim Doyle
Clicky the image for BIGGIE! There’s a lot of little detail on this one. “Camino Cats” by Tim Doyle- for sale soon on Nakatomi Inc! (And in color, natch!) A bunch of VERY bad cats are stealing a shark away from the menacing clutches of Damien Hirst. That’s not the story Doyle started out to tell when he started drawing this print, but by God, that’s where the pencils and inks took him. Look for…
O Captain, My Captain
“Often imitated, never duplicated.” -Captain Lou Albano What happens after the Guiding Light leaves our plane of existence? Captain Lou Albano died today. For those of you not obsessed with wrestling in the 70s-80s, Captain Lou was the wrestler/ manager that brought wrestling to the mainstream by initiating the Rock n’ Wrestling Connection in the early 80s. By playing the part of Cyndi Lauper’s dad in her videos, Albano opened a door that would change…
Nakatomi On Matt Fraction on MLB!
Hey, I know that shirt! Matt Fraction is the current writer of Iron Man (among other great books). Iron Man is my all-time favorite super-hero. So when eagle-eyed Nakatomi agent at large and Baseball Fan, Alan Reynoso passed this clip on to me, I just about squee-ed. Matt there, (and he is a WRITER- not an artist, as MLB credits him …duh!) is rocking Paul Pope’s invitational T-shirt from a few months back. Being a…
