Working. ON STUFF.

Doctor Who and the Daleks!

Tim Doyle’s Doctor Who print for the Studio Canal Doctor Who movie from the 60′s is now an official DVD/ Blu-Ray cover! How crazy is that?!?

These should be available shortly- no word on if there’s an all-region release, or if it’s UK only, but we’ll keep you posted!

If you live in the UK and still need a copy of the original print, Under The Floorboards will have ‘em at their conventions this Summer- you can see their schedule HERE. 

We also have a TINY TINY bit of AP’s here, so if you’re interested, just give us an email through the contact form!

Here’s a special behind the scenes look into how this print / image was made!

When I first got the gig, I was a fan of the Doctor, but hadn’t seen this film in about 20 years or so- luckily, the older non-restored version was still available on Amazon, so I gave it a spin! My good friend, and Doctor Who expert, Paul Hanley had a model of the particular Daleks as seen in this movie, so he was able to lend it to me so I could shoot my own reference!  Next I made a collage of how I wanted everything arranged, so I could send it to the client and make sure they were happy with the direction I had chosen-

The Daleks were shot from the model, and the rest of the elements were from either screen-grabs from the DVD, or google-image search.  This was approved, but I still needed a solid reference for Peter Cushing as the doctor, standing tall (ish) as I couldn’t find one in the film that fit the bill. I wanted to make sure I got his build right- even as an outline, I needed to make sure it still ‘read’ as Cushing.  Off to Google again!

Strangely, the best image I could find was a drawing by Paul Hanley- my friend who loaned me the Dalek model to begin with!  Crazy.  Paul’s a killer artist who’s done a ton of Who work- You should totally check out his Deviant Art page HERE.  Not only is Paul responsible for my new-found Who obsession, but he was a big help with this print!

So, from that collage, I created this hand-drawn line-art image-

(If you’re interested in the Original Art, it is currently available in my eBay store- just scroll down)

Which was then scanned in and colored and separated in Photoshop for printing, and then printed in my shop- so we arrive at THIS-

Pretty neat, huh?

Thanks to Under the Floorboards for the gig, and thanks to Studio Canal for thinking the image was neat enough for a DVD!

Bernie Wrightson’s Frankenstein

Bernie Wrightson is a legend of pen and ink. Having worked in comic books for over 40 years now, Wrightson is a legend in the industry, and an illustrator supreme. His illustrated version of the original Frankenstein novel by Mary Shelley was created over a seven year period, and originally published by Marvel Comics in 1983.  His attention to detail and painstaking linework has inspired a generation of illustrators working in comics, film, and has even left its mark on the world of screen printed art.

If you’re unfamiliar with his name- you have most certainly seen his work. He has done creature design and concepts for such great films as Ghosbusters (notably- the Library Ghost), The Mist, and Serenity. Wrightson’s comic work found itself animated in the original Heavy Metal movie, and his illustrations for Stephen King’s Cycle of the Werewolf novel helped propel the book to screen as Silver Bullet.  And he’s the co-creator of Swamp Thing!

It is with great honor that Nakatomi can present the inaugural release in a “Frankenstein” series of high-quality slik-screen prints by Bernie.  The original pen and ink drawings of this set are in art-collector’s archives around the world, owned by fans and artists and film directors alike. These prints are shot from scans of those originals- used in the 25th anniversary edition of the book.

“A Filthy Process” is a 20×30 print on thick 130lb Cougar Natural Cover, signed by Bernie in a numbered edition of only 100.

We had the pleasure of becoming acquainted with Bernie since he relocated to Austin a little while back, and he’s been a joy to work with.

“A Filthy Process” will be available on 3/12 TUESDAY around 2pm Central Time on NakatomiInc.com in the Art Prints section.

Prints are in hand and ready for immediate shipment.

Detail pictures of the actual print below- attempting to highlight the staggering line work and detail-

Thank you- see you HERE on the site at 2pm Central time on Tuesday 3/12.

Okay, this is probably the weirdest gigposter I’ve ever done. Having a lot of fun.  Drawn by hand, colored/sepped in Photoshop.

“Arnim Tamzarian”- by Tim Doyle 18x24 timed release print. Available for one week only- ending on Friday 3/1.  The Unreal Estate 2 show sold out so quickly, we wanted to offer a print that everyone could get!

You can pick them up right now in the SPOKEART store HERE!
