As you may already know, my favorite sidekick (next to Aqualad) passed yesterday. Ed Mcahon- 1923-2009. Ed was more man than you or me will ever be. He was a six time decorated Marine test pilot Colonel in WW2 AND Korea, the host of ‘Star Search’ (American Idol owes Ed BIG-TIME), helped Jerry Lewis raise about 2 BILLION dollars for MS research, and even spent an afternoon alone in with Marilyn Monroe in her trailer…
As Chief Technology Officer at Nakatomi, Inc, this is why I love Nakatomi customers and visitors to this site: No other sites I work on have such high rates of good browser use. In fact I’ve never worked on a web site whose user base is more than 50% Firefox. In addition, the 20% or so of Chrome / Safari / Opera users is totally awesome. Internet Explorer is a web browser that should die….
So over the last 2 weeks, we here at Nakatomi have been busting ass getting our print studio up and running… and now we want to show off the fruits of our labors! This whole thing fits into a 10×15 garage, and ran us just under 2K. We finished our first print in the new studio last night, and we couldn’t be more proud (or smug in our awesome-sauce.) Nakatomi fellow Clint Wilson pitched in…
The world lost one of its baddest asses today, and is not near as cool as it was. I grew up on a diet of Kung Fu reruns. There was action in every episode, but there was also the wise teachings of the old Chinese guy from Gremlins. Like Grasshopper, it was the basis for my spiritual understanding. Then you get to see David Carradine use that knowledge to solve problems in the old west……
Howdy! So, we sold out of my copies of ‘Full of Grace’, BUT- my good friend’s site- PandorasPrints.com will have a good 80 or so when his site goes live in a few weeks. If you’re on the MAILING LIST I’ll let you know when that happens! -alex fugazi
If you’re itchin’ for something to do, don’t forget about: The Vaults of Nakatomi Your one-stop-shop for metadata about our limited edition prints! It’s updated each month when the new Nakatomi Invitational is released and will gradually collect data for any prints that go out (of print). Love, Biafrah Winfrey
If you were already a member of the mailing list, you’d have already had a shot at this one (Hint, Hint) but now it’s here for the rest of us! ‘Full of Grace’ is the follow up to Tim Doyle’s sold out ‘Take the Cannoli’ print from last year. Available in a paper and wood edition, this print won’t hang around for long. Nakatomi will only have 30 of the paper edition for sale, and…
As promised, the Detroit Cobras print is now available for sale! Limited to just 65 copies, we have very few left after the show (less than 25)! And, did we mention is Glows in the DARK? Head on over to the GigPosters section of the site to check it out.
Back on the 16th of May, Nakatomi Founder Tim Doyle tied the knot with Nakatomi Printing/ Shipping intern, Angie Genesi. This is also the cause of the delay in updates to this blog. Our apologies. Tim Doyle promises to never get married again. In attendance were several of the Nakatomi crew- bloggers Thunderlips and Biafrah Winfrey, as well as contributing artists Clint Wilson, Rob Jones, and Nick Derington (who’s in NEXT season’s Invitational!). Pictures! The…
In case you were wondering…last week, we shipped out all orders for for Mark Todd’s invitational poster and T-shirt! Make sure if you’re in the Austin area to see his studio-mate Esther Peal Watson’s show this month at Domy books, and if you’re in Houston (and why would you be THERE?!?!) do the same for Mark’s show at the Domy books there, later on in June! Go to Domy Book’s site to check it out!…
