So, Peter Sciretta over at SlashFilm sent me this yesterday- He’s in Toronto at the TIFF film festival, and saw this at a T-shirt shop. Now, I’m not the hardest guy in the world to track down. If you want to make shirts with our art on it, you could at least give me an email. Considering every other shirt on that rack is either a straight rip, or a pale imitation of a T-shirt…

Not specifically Nakatomi related, BUT- If you were paying attention to Doyle’s Flickr stream a while back, you have already seen these- And- These silkscreen prints were commissioned by Austin over at the new site, Pandorasprints.com a while back, and starting TUESDAY at NOON, they will finally be for sale! Here’s some background info from Doyle- “Months back when ‘Change Into a Truck’ blew up into the meme-of-the-month, I had a phone call with Jermaine…
I know I’m tired of typing the word ‘breast’ and getting info on mammograms. Are you with me? Guys? Sigh. Go HERE to check out DudeGoogle. It’s Google for Dudes. Best part- the theme song. Or the Machine Gun SFX as you type something into the search. -alex fugazi
Not to O.D. on Twin Peaks like Laura Palmer on Bobby Briggs’ coke…BUT- I stumbled across this on my Twin Peaks research the other day, and can’t believe such at thing A– Existed, and B– I didn’t know about it until now- Man, those are some disturbing Muppets. -alex fugazi
Black Cat Bones in Puebla, Mexico is shaping up to be a really cool coffee shop/ art space. In their first month they put up an art show of B-movie screenprint posters made up almost exclusively of prints that I art directed during my employment at LOCAL MOVIE THEATER (you are very welcome, Black Cat Bones!) and for October they’re doing a 20th anniversary tribute to my favorite TV show- Twin Peaks. Artists from all…
Look HERE. Even though Wizard Comics is keeping the image secret, I’ll give you exactly ONE guess as to what the cover to this comic book will be. Now, Wizard selling this thing at 30 bux? Maybe they should kick some of that our way for trying to make us draw like Bart Sears in the 90’s w/ their ‘Brutes and Babes’ column. I’m coming for you, Gareb Shamus. -alex fugazi
According to Paul Pope’s twitter feed (and a quick Wiki search) last Friday would have been the 92nd birthday of the one man more responsible for what we know as popular culture than anyone else in the world- Jack ‘King’ Kirby. Oddly enough, I JUST finished reading his Demon Omnibus that was published by DC a while back- and as fate would have it, I had some extra space on a print we were working…
What did we spend all last week cooking up in the Nakatomi Print Labs? 14 screens 9 colors 2 warriors 2 ponies and only 40 available- In what was definitely the most intensive print session I’ve ever been a part of, ‘Clans of the Great Pony Rebellion: Clan Blossom and Clan Cotton Candy’ are now birthed into the world. Each SEVEN color print measures 18×25 and has hand-finishing detail and is signed and numbered by…
Deer Hunter- the home game. Actually, this might be Korean. Pardon my ignorance. I’m a fat American. Regardless, an Asian country has manufactured a Russian Roulette toy for children. This is evidence that everything is more awesome in parts of the world I am not in. I’d go there, but then something would happen back here that would make me think here was more awesome. I’ll never be happy until I have pink plastic feet…
