“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…
From the Office of Nakatomi Inc Chief Technology Officer Biafrah Winfrey It’s so sad to see our beautiful posters sell out! But that’s the price you have to pay for producing high quality limited edition poster prints like these. Now when you get a little sniffly for old times, you can visit: THE VAULTS OF NAKATOMI http://nakatomiinc.nakatomi.net/vaults/ Bask in the nostalgia. We’ll be adding every Nakatomi original (including Nakatomi Invitational prints) to The Vaults as…
Oi- Man Shoots Himself During Watchmen Movie. I wonder which part he went out on? Yikes. -alex fugazi
So, if you know me, you know I like food. That’s no surprise. So, when Dryer’s releases a new brand of ‘low fat’ Ice Cream sandwiches, you know I’m on that like a fat kid on Ice Cream Sandwiches. (Hmm…a little too literal there?) They come nicely packed in an egg-carton type plastic container, separated from each other so they can’t give each other ice-cream cooties- And if you’re looking at you local store for…
Okay, so I know it’s an April Fool’s joke…but it’s a pretty good one- Google had this linked on their homepage today. Apparently, Google labs developed the first AI that can reply to your emails for you, and will bring together all Google products under one furry fist. And furry, I say, because the AI is calling itself CADIE, and CADIE’s avatar is a panda. If you click through to CADIE’s homepage you get exactly…
Mark Todd’s scheduled Nakatomi Invitational drops this Wednesday, April the 1st! (no fooling.) This t-shirt and art print combo are only available for the month of April, and after that, it’s gone for good! The print is an 18×24 3-color silkscreen (one being a transparent glossy varnish layer), individually numbered. The t-shirt is available in women’s and unisex (mens) sizing. For those of you who DON’T know, Mark Todd is an illustrating powerhouse, who’s done…
Biafrah Winfrey: What do you do all day? Billy Perkins: Ha, my ex-wife used to ask me that same question. Well, how about you just WORRY ABOUT YOUR OWN DAMN JOB AND…oh, wait, sorry about that! I freelance full-time, so basically I sit around in my underwear and try to see what I can put off til later. When I realize I have to get to work to keep the utilities on, I do ads…

We promise…
I remember three of my childhood dreams very vividly, because I don’t think any other kid has aimed so low in the history of underachieving. I’ll share those aspirations with you, and point out examples of how the animal kingdom makes me look like a chump in even those modest goals. Dream #1: Grow a Badass Beard For as long as I can remember, I wanted a beard. In my childhood, my dad and uncles…
Uh…okay, this is strange- For those of you who DON’T know, expressobeans.com is one of the TOP resources for those who collect art prints, rock posters, etc. One of the great things they do is track the eBay sales on prints, so the buying public can get a real-time ‘pricing guide’ of posters. Kind of like a Wizard magazine except not about comics, and you know…actually relevant to the hobby it’s concerned with. (Zing!) One…
