BERNIE WRIGHTSON PRINT SUBSCRIPTIONS!

Nakatomi is proud to continue our relationship with Illustrator-supreme, Bernie Wrightson, and his Frankenstein Print Series!  After selling out of the first two releases, we solicited feed-back from our customers and as a result, we’re happy to present the WRIGHTSON FRANKENSTEIN PRINT SUBSCRIPTION!

On Tuesday, 5/14 between Noon and 2PM Central Time, we’ll offer up 175 subscriptions to the next 5 screen-printed art-prints in the series for $230 plus shipping. The Subscriptions will be available for 24 hours, or when 175 are sold, whichever comes first.

The subs will include exclusives that will only be available to those purchasing the set, never for sale on the site! -

“Perished on the Scaffold“- 20×30 print- max edition of 175. (Limited to the number of Subs sold)
6″ Exclusive sticker of the Monster
9×12 print of the title page to Wrightson’s Illustrated Edition of Frankenstein- also max edition of 175.

The subscriptions will ship out in 3 tubes- 2 prints per tube. The first tube will ship out with the exclusives and the next print in the series- “Rest but in Death”- pictured below-

Two months later in July, you will receive the next 2, and again two months after that in September.  Each print will be in signed and hand-numbered editions!

One of the prints in the subscription will be a beautiful image of the Monster that was cut from the original book, and rarely seen since it was drawn by Wrightson- over 30 years ago.  All the art files are in hand, and ready to print- there will be no delays in fulfillment!

Here’s the first print, waiting to be purchased in our Flat-Files!

Subscriptions will be for sale HERE on Tuesday between Noon and 2PM Central Time.
The remaining copies of “Rest But In Death” will be for sale the following Wednesday the 15th for $50 at the same link.

Note on Shipping- because you’re ordering 3 tubes with the subscription, there will be an additional shipping fee added on with purchase.

Thank you all from Nakatomi and Bernie Wrightson!

“When I was originally asked by the company managing the band’s VIP merch, I literally had never heard a song by MUSE. I am old and mostly smell funny, and don’t listen to anything that can’t be played on an accordion. BUT- after checking out a couple of MUSE’s music videos on the YouTubeBox, I was impressed by the large-scale epic Sci-Fi feel a couple of them had, and the rusty gears in my brain started turning. I’ve been on a bit of a Moebius kick recently (like, since about 1982 when I first saw TRON) and so I wanted to pay tribute to that great master while also mixing in some Jack Kirby and Sorayama for good measure. Like 99% of my prints, they’re drawn by my aged, shaky hands and then scanned into my computer, where elves do the rest of the work.”

You can pick them up HERE in the TIM DOYLE section of the Nakatomi store!

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.

Artist Robert Wilson worked closely with The Mountain Goats’ John Darnielle to come up with the imagery for this poster set to promote their recent West Coast tour!  Darnielle is a big comic book fan, and much like The Mountain Goats’ songs, they wanted to tell a story with the prints!
