Just a quickie reminder- there is just ONE WEEK LEFT for you guys out there in Nakatomi-land to pick up the first three entries in our Invitational series. Once midnight rolls around on Valentine’s Day, those posters and shirts will be gone forever! If I get any emails from people saying ‘Oh dang, I missed out, do you have any left’ on the 15th, I’m buying a ticket, going to their house and eating their…
Shepard Fairey Arrested- AGAIN?
Shepard Fairey is a ‘bit’ of a controversial figure in the art world. If you’ve been living in Austin for the last 10 years like I have, you couldn’t have helped NOT seeing his OBEY and GIANT poster campaigns rip through the downtown area years ago. Fairey being the master of the ‘underground’ poster campaign made him a natural choice for the Obama campaign when it came to picking an artist to tap for their…
Nakatomi Invitational- Shipping Update
Hello everyone! We’ve been getting a few emails from people wondering ‘Where’s my first-round Invitational t-shirt and or poster?’ Also- ‘What’s the deal with your face?’ Well, in reply to the first question- Don’t worry my friend, they are coming. It might not have been ABUNDANTLY clear, but all Nakatomi Invitational t-shirts and posters are ONLY available for that ONE month in which they are offered. After that ONE month is up, they will be…
Robocop on a Unicorn
So, this isn’t exactly NEW, but…Robocop on a Unicorn is the best thing since Bill Cosby beat that midget to death. For real. Olav Rokne is the genius behind the “Robocop on a Unicorn” museum over on Flickr. A few months back, he and a friend were joking around about what the most ridiculous thing they could think of, and ‘Robocop on a Unicorn’ was born. Add in the incredibly Democratic level playing-field of ideas…
Epic Math Fail
So, okay…if you’re not regularly going over to FailBlog.org, you are missing out on the greatness that is the interwebs. Although I must warn you- it will ruin your life for a week or so. I introduced it to the office at the last place I worked, and I think productivity fell off a cliff. But just as a sample- here’s today’s Epic Fail. My favorite part of this is that not one, but TWO…
RIP Sparks…
For those of you that don’t already know, Sparks, the energy infused acoholic beverage, that has fueled many of my late…late…latest party nights, has officially REMOVED THE CAFFEINE! This comes as an interesting business decision to me considering this drink is actually rather fucking disgusting as it is…but who can turn down something that combines an upper and a downer in one sugar loaded can of glory? However, it’s official as of December 2008, Sparks…

Invitational Preview- Jermaine Rogers
Jermaine Rogers just laid this beauty on us today. HMMmmmm. Bunnies.

Jermaine’s entry into the Nakatomi Invitational, “Rabbit Fighter” will drop on Monday March 2nd as an art print and a t-shirt. Based on one…
Who Don’t Like Titties?
Good question. Luckily our friends at The Deadbeat Club have created the CLUB TRACK OF THE CENTURY as their rap super group, T.Lovers, to hopefully answer the age old question…Who Don’t Like Titties? Check out their mind shattering, boner stimulating, all around hilarious music video premiere below, and be sure to pick up a copy of their new DVD chocked full of inappropriately appropriate sketch comedy mayhem. Ya Hurd!? -Sean Robb
Christian Bale Goes NUTZ!
Okay, so I must say, when it comes to any movie featuring thespian-extraordinaire, Christian Bale, I am instantly stoked out of my gourde. And as most of you may know (if you don’t, find the nearest cliff to leap off) he will now be starring as the gun blasting, robot thrashing, savior to humanity’s future, John Connor, in the up and coming sequel to the Terminator franchise. Badass you say? Correct, I say. Even if…
