Nakatomi Invitational

Monday, January 12th, 2009

I was asked by Tim Doyle, one of the fine people at the new and ultra cool Nakatomi Inc., if I would be one of three artists to help launch the Nakatomi Invitational. This would include a signed and numbered screen print limited to 250 copies and t-shirt available to the public. I of course answered yes and then proceeded to freak out like a geeky nerd boy about being able to be a part of a project that includes artists of such high caliber. The other two dudes kicking this thing off go by Daniel Danger and Todd Slater. Here are more artists you can expect to see in this Invitational in the future:

Tyler Stout
Mark Todd
Jon Vermilyea
Paul Pope
Rob Jones
Jermaine Rogers

This is an image I did a couple years ago that Tim saw and believed in enough to want to include into his project.

The Raconteurs

They are AMAZING. I’ve always dug their sound but man, seeing them live two weeks ago at ACL was a whole new thing. The energy and musicianship, all sooo good. Here is a shot I was able to take just as they had finished their set.

Also, after their performance, I was able to meet the man himself. No, not Jack White, but the designer of a ton of the gig posters for Jack’s bands, Rob Jones. He is a swell fella with an immense amount of knowledge, creativity, and kindness. I may have a fun project in the works thanks to Rob. I’ll fill you all in on it as it develops. Good night.
