Tim Doyle

Yesterday, our country elected our President to a new term in the White House, and we also passed several important new measures- like Marriage Equality in 4 new states, and Legalized Pot in Colorado and Washington.

And today, the city of Austin and the readers of the AUSTIN CHRONICLE have made an even more important decision- they’ve voted Nakatomi Founder, Tim Doyle as the BEST VISUAL ARTIST in Austin for the second year in a row!

You can read the blurb about the win HERE.

Never one to bask in the glow of victory, or pose in a ludicrous fashion for photographs celebrating his triumph, Tim Doyle promises to continue his mission of awesome, affordable art for everyone. His opponents ran a fair campaign, only going negative towards the end- with accusations of doping and other art-performance drugs being hastily debunked. Tim Doyle swears his retribution will be swift and bloody, yet fair.

For the next 24 hours on the Nakatomi site- (ending at Midnight Central Time 11/9/12), we’re offering 20% off all orders for Doyle prints by using the discount code DOYLE (it’s in all caps, people) when you check out!

Discount applies to all product in the TIM DOYLE section of the Nakatomi store HERE!

Nakatomi artist, Tim Doyle, was contacted by The Obama Store to produce a limited edition art print in relation to the Obama 2012 campaign!  The Obama Store is located here in Austin, Texas- inside the Texas Democratic National Committee headquarters. The Obama Store is headed by former Texas State Representative, Glen Maxey- a fierce supporter of several causes near and dear to us here at Nakatomi, including pro-LGBT legislation and children’s health initiatives.  We were very honored to partner with them on this project.

My good friend, Jon Smith put together an art show at the SpokeArt gallery in Oakland, which debuted last weekend, and the prints from that show are now available!

“Mucho Machismo” is an art show dedicated to all the manly-insanity of the action movies of the 80’s! Paying tribute to the testosterone and cocaine-fueled mass-media mash-up laid out before me, I just let my mind go nuts and this is what popped out-

Above is pictured “Murphy Delivers the LAW” by me, and measures 18×24, features metallic ink and is signed and numbered in an edition of 150, AVAILABLE HERE!

The fine folks over at Toddland commissioned Nakatomi founder, Tim Doyle, to produce a print for Yo Gabba Gabba! Since Doyle was such a HUGE fan of the show (and if you’re not a fan of the show, something is very strange about you) he decided to produce an entire SERIES of character prints!

The Toddland crew is super-tight with the Gabba crew, and they pretty much told Doyle- “Draw whatever!” That kind of creative freedom with a property this big is pretty much unheard of, and shows a lot of faith in our talent over here!

This 18×24 7 color print is signed and numbered in an edition of 130- and a glow in the dark variant edition of ONLY 30!

Both prints will be available exclusively over at the Toddland/ Huckleberry booth at the San Diego Comic Con coming up REALLY SOON!

The fine folks over at GRIME KNOCKS caught Tim Doyle over at Gallery Guzu here in Austin last week, for a quickie interview! He talks about art, and Breaking Bad, and working out. He also calls Kristian Donaldson fat. Tim Doyle is a big jerk.

Make sure you subscribe to the Grime Knocks channel, and if you’re in Austin, head on over to Gallery Guzu for some Nu-Art madness!

Tim Doyle was asked to participate in the Blank Space Ltd Gallery’s ‘In the Garage’ art show that debuted last month in Connecticut.

The theme was ‘nerd art’, and nothing says more nerdy than Magritte’s surrealist icons mixed with 8-bit glory! (At least to Doyle, it doesn’t…)

Blank Space released their copies of the prints last month, and now Nakatomi has the artist copies available, along with an exclusive variant in a super-small edition.

Above is pictured ‘That Damned Dog’ and below is ‘1000 points’. Both prints measure 16×20 and are signed and numbered by Doyle in editions of 75 each.

Vietnam on Wheels- Lunch Break

The newest print in the sold-out ‘Vietnam on Wheels’ series is now available!

This 16×20 hand-printed silkscreen is signed and numbered by me in an edition of 100. Printed on 100 lb Natural color paper.

This print is in hand and ready for immediate shipment! Pick one up HERE.

ALSO- if you missed out…

The two previous prints are sold out from my shop, Nakatomi, but there are still a few left on Poster Cabaret HERE at their original price.

Tears in the Rain Oversized Glow Edition

On Tuesday (4/24/12) at 3PM CST, Nakatomi will have a Timed Release of an OVER-SIZED edition of Tim Doyle’s ‘Tears In The Rain’ art print.

This print will measure 21″ x 40″ and each one will GLOW in the dark. It will be printed on heavyweight 130lb Cougar natural paper, and feature a silver metallic rain overlay.

Print will appear for sale at 3pm Central Standard Time on Tuesday HERE.

The last one we did in this series, the oversized White Dragon print (which you can see here) was limited to just 50 copies and was only available at the Flatstock poster convention in Austin. It was an instant sell out on the first day, and immediately people started flipping them on eBay for upwards of $600. While we don’t really have a problem with people re-selling our prints, we were a little bummed that people who loved the art and couldn’t afford the eBay price were shut out. SO- to help make it up to you guys, we’re doing this Timed Release print to make sure everyone who wants one can get one, provided they’re in front of their computer when it’s released. And, it glows in the dark for the same price as the non-glow over-sized White Dragon!

I was very happy to receive a cold-call from Tyler Chamberlain from the Texas VW Classic, asking me if I’d be interested in producing a poster for their annual event here in Central Texas. He had noticed a recurring theme in some of my art- a VW bus or other such fun vehicles snuck in where ever I could make it work. I have long, long loved the beauty and clean lines of the old-school VW’s (as well as Vespas and El Caminos!) and there was NO way I could turn him down!

The beauty and simplicity of these older vehicles is like a visual short-hand that signified fun and freedom.

The event was held this last weekend and the weather here in Texas couldn’t have been better! (which is good for selling posters…trust me.)

I’m now able to sell my artists copies on Nakatomi, and I hope you all enjoy them as much as I enjoyed drawing it!

This 18×24 5 color silk-screen print is signed and numbered in an edition of 230, with Nakatomi only having 30 for sale.

Pick them up HERE in the Tim Doyle Section of the Nakatomi store- prints are in hand and will ship immediately.
