“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…
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…

I remember a better time. A time when life was about having fun, enjoying a sunny day, or just hanging out with friends. That was when it felt good to be alive. But now the only thing I feel about being amongst the living is lucky. Or unlucky, if you really want to be brutally honest. How can one feel good about being one of the only survivors of… McDonaldland! Thunderlips’s Top-Secret Private Journal Date:…
Washington Times Film Critic, Sonny Bunch, profiled us in today’s issue of the paper! You can buy the paper at this thing called a NEWSSTAND, and apparently, it’s printed on ACTUAL paper. Weird! Or, you can read it HERE. The article is called- Nerd Art: Affordable prices lure incorrigible dorks Man…GEEZ! If you look at that image of the Paper above, and look REAL closely, you’ll see the date is June 29th, 1989! That’s less…
After making posters for a few years…CLINT WILSON HAS TOO MANY POSTERS! He’s literally sleeping on top of them, they’re under his kitchen table, and filling his closets. If he could eat them, he’d be fine. So in order to clear out some room, Clint is having a crazy sale, and we here at Nakatomi are helping him clear out his apartment! For $20 you get 5 posters in one tube! Each tube will contain…

Hey, we’ve been running tests this week in the Nakatomi Print Labs, and have a bunch of crazy stuff left laying around. So- since we love Kirby so damn much (and apparently, so do you, considering how fast the last free print went) we decided to make this our next give-away. This 3 color 6″x24″ print is yours for the taking! We got a couple dozen of these laying around, and we’re throwing them in…
Good and Evil. Here at Nakatomi Print Labs, we’re always trying to improve our set-up. Test the limits of what we can print, and explore the boundaries of screenprinting. One thing we don’t do a lot of is photo-collage work. So, we decided to fire up the ‘ol photoshop and see what we could do. We printed these as a photo resolution test, but they’re just way too cool not to get out there. Since…
