I’m happy to announce Nakatomi has a brand new t-shirt line! Based on art from Doyle’s ‘The Sea Also Rises’ series of prints, these 100% ringspun cotton t-shirts feature big big printing with machine-washable waterbased inks for that super-soft fit! (No plastic crackly ink!) Includes their custom sewn-in tags!  Each of these t-shirt styles are limited to just 100 copies worldwide in these colorways! Available in unisex sizing Small through 2X, these limited edition shirts are up for sale right in the T-shirt section of the Nakatomi store.

“Waterlilies” is an edition of 100 prints by Eleni Kalorkoti.  The image area measures roughly 4.75″ tall by 8.5″ wide. With a small border for framing, the print measures around 5.75″ by 9.5″. The archival print was created by Tiny Showcase and ships with a corresponding certificate of authenticity. The archival artwork has been printed on a heavy 290gsm natural white print making paper made from 90% bamboo fibres and 10% cotton.  Pick these up now at The Tiny Showcase.

The very talented Ryan Milner has a stunning new piece that he wants to share with the world. “Abearham” is a seven color screen print that measures 16 x 20 inches and is printed on Cougar Natural 100 lb. cover. Signed and numbered by Ryan in an edition of 50. You can find these beauties in Ryan’s online store.

The fabulous artist behind RocknRoller Art is Travis Braun and boy does he have a treat for all of us.  Travis is Reinventing the rock poster by creating a series of limited edition prints for 50 great rock bands.  Hand painted, hand built, hands on.  Right now Travis has a Kickstarter to help fund this amazing project.  A little more about the project:

The main reason why there are so many reward options, 120 to be exact, is because there are 4 different sizes of limited edition prints for 25 different bands! To make it easy, simply choose what size print you would like or the amount you want to spend, then scroll to that section of the reward tier and look for the band you want.

$1 – $65 = small (9×12 – 10×13) giclée print, hoodie, t-shirt, thank you postcard or digital wallpapers

$75 – $80 = medium (13×19 – 16×20) limited edition giclée print + magnet + sticker + thank you postcard + digital wallpapers

$135 = large (22×28 – 20×30) limited edition giclée print + sticker + magnet + thank you postcard + digital wallpapers

$250 – $350 = a commissioned ORIGINAL ink portrait drawing of the rock star of your choice (8×10 – 11×14)

$275 – $295 = extra large (28×34 – 28×40) SUPER limited edition (ONLY 25 of this size) giclée print + magnet + sticker + thank you postcard + digital wallpapers

$1,250 – $1,850 = 8 – 30 pages of ORIGINAL drawings + the FIRST (#1 of 25) extra large (28×34 – 28×40) SUPER limited edition giclée print + hoodie + t-shirt + magnet + sticker + thank you postcard + digital wallpapers

With this respect for history in our hearts, we choose to use Rock and Roll as our medium, our canvas, an homage in honor.  While your at it, check out Travis’ website, Rocknrollerart.com

Here is the brand new Soundgarden concert poster by Vance Kelly.  This piece was done for their recent trip to Louisville, KY on May 10, 2013.  These are four color silkscreens with sandstone matte.  These measure 25 1/2 x 17 inches and are signed by the artist.  These are available in limited quantity at Beyond The Pale.

MYSTERIOUS TUBES!

It’s been 6 months since the last Nakatomi-Wide TUBE SALE, and people’s wounds have almost healed, and so we’re ready to go ONCE MORE INTO THE BREACH!

We have more tubes than ever before- about 250 already packed with a few more tubes-worth of prints waiting on stand-by…so hopefully those who want one can get one!

Starting somewhere between noon and 2pm CENTRAL TIME on TUESDAY the 30th, we’ll have tubes for purchase for $50 each. Each tube will have 5 prints in it-all suitable for framing. Some are considered ‘scratch/dent’ in that there’s minor printing flaws or a ‘soft’ corner, but nothing that won’t frame out.

One print in each tube will be the final print in our portrait series by Tim Doyle that will never be available for purchase separately! The last few prints in this series seem to be popular! (Warning, those links contain evidence of people flipping prints!)

You are welcome to buy as many tubes as you want- you will receive a copy of the exclusive print in each tube. One tube per order- we cannot combine shipping- as we can only fit 5 prints in each tube!

We’ve got Test Sheets!-

Test Sheets! We’re randomly inserting a totally awesome and unique test-sheet with orders! A test sheet is like 4 posters flying at your optic nerve at ONCE! Truly a byproduct of the Silk-screen process, we run screens on scrap paper as we’re working on a project, and what you get is a random collage of color building up on a sheet of paper, until we judge that it’s ‘done’ and throw it on our stack of test sheets!  There’s an awful lot of the Unreal Estate 2 prints that were in this crop- I like the BAD WOLF/ BADA BING up there on the left!

“Unreal Estate” Scratch prints!  Just about EVERY print from the Unreal Estate art show at SpokeArt in February was printed with a split fountain (the fade in the sky) and split fountains can be tricky to get just right. SO- we have about 40 of these (spread across 10 different images) that were just not perfect enough to make the cut, but too pretty to trash. Others are perfectly fine except for a little ‘ink drop’ in the border here and there.  The regular editions of these sold out crazy fast on the SpokeArt AND Nakatomi sites, and this is your last chance to get ‘em from us!

EXCLUSIVES!- stuff only available in THIS TUBE SALE!-

Not only do we have a smattering of the GreySkull print that was only available to attendees of the SpokeArt show back in Feb, but we’ve got 5 AP copies of Doyle’s ‘King of Baltimore’ Gold Foil edition, Never-Before- Seen 6 copies of Metallic Silver Oversized Edition of the Transformers Show Poster (edition of only 7!), we’ve got a HEAVY wood panel version of Doyle’s Deadwood Unreal Estate print that was never released (edition of 10), and that small one in the middle was a KRAMPUS holiday print for a portfolio that didn’t come together last year, that Doyle was a part of. None of these prints will ever be for sale on Nakatomi!

That’s 12 original pencil and ink drawings done by Doyle that we’re throwing into this sale! Pictured above is original art from gigposters for Appleseed Cast, MC Chris, The Bellfuries, along with the drawing for The Fifth Element movie poster, stuff for SpokeArt and a ton more.  All these are the OG’s used in production of these pieces that became the sold-out screenprints!

From Doyle’s personal collection, and stuff we just got in through trades and whatnot- we’re throwing in 5 of these long-gone old school Mondo posters. We could re-sell, em- but hey- we’d rather just give them to YOU.

This is only a small selection of what’s going in these tubes, with plenty more surprises!

With all this awesome, your odds of striking gold are PRETTY DANG GOOD. Please note- these tubes are blind-packed, and we have no idea what prints are in what tubes at this point!

5 prints, $50- you can knock off gifts for 5 people all at once, letting you cruise into birthday/holiday/apocalypse season with no worries!

Get your clicky fingers ready- we’ve never had a Nakatomi tube sale NOT sell out- we’re being a little more ambiguous about the drop time, as we’ve had massive server issues during these high-demand drops before, and we’re trying to cut down on that here. But as always- it’s going to be a slog getting through check-out once word spreads that these are up for sale. Trust us- we’ll do what we can, but it’s rarely enough.

We will put these up for sale at a random time between noon and 2pm Central Time on Tuesday 4/30 at Nakatomi!
