Artist Profile
Nakatomi Inc
Limited Edition Movie Posters & Art Prints
Nakatomi Inc operates as both a pop culture art collective and screenprint studio based in Austin, Texas. The collective has established itself as a significant force in the alternative poster scene, working with master artists like Bernie Wrightson and Paul Pope to produce hand-printed limited editions. Their approach combines traditional screenprinting techniques with contemporary pop culture themes, creating works that bridge fine art sensibilities with collectible poster culture.
The studio's visual output demonstrates remarkable range, from the haunting black and white illustration "Lost in Darkness and Distance" featuring Frankenstein's monster standing on an ice floe by a stormy sea, to more minimalist works like their limited edition "Cactus Art Print." Their collaboration with legendary horror artist Bernie Wrightson produced "The Furies," an 18x24 inch fine art giclée released in a limited edition of 300 copies, featuring never-before-released artwork from the master illustrator. Each release showcases meticulous attention to printing quality and artistic integrity.
Collectors actively seek Nakatomi Inc releases for their consistently small edition sizes and hand-crafted quality. Their prints are hand-numbered and often feature custom signature chops from collaborating artists, as seen in their Paul Pope releases limited to just 150 copies worldwide. The combination of working with renowned artists, maintaining strict edition limits, and employing traditional printing methods has created strong secondary market demand, making Nakatomi Inc releases highly coveted among serious poster collectors.
