Nakatomi is VERY proud to release Josh Budich’s EPIC new screenprint tribute to one of the greatest cartoons of all time with his new print, “Samurai With a Magic Sword.”
Josh approached Nakatomi several months ago with the idea of doing a traditional Japanese style print in honor of Samurai Jack. After shooting back and forth sketches and ideas for a while, they finally settled on this composition, and Josh came back to them with this beauty.
They’ve worked with Josh on several pieces now, and his dedication to his craft and getting things ‘just right’ is really impressive. Not only that, but you really can’t nail the guy down to just one style. He’s constantly changing and adapting his talents to the demands of the task at hand.
Because Nakatomi had some of the paper here at the shop, they printed a special edition of just 20 (they’ll only have 15 for sale) on Curious Metallic brand ‘Ice Silver’ paper. It’s a really beautiful HEAVY (110 lb) metallic paper that is almost impossible to take a photograph of. Once you have it in your hands, you’ll see what he's talking about- it looks like just white paper in photos, but in person the paper has a real LUSH pearlescent feel and look. Very nice. Anyone who gets one and isn’t sufficiently transformed into a puddle of appreciative goo is free to send it back for a full refund- THAT’S HOW MUCH NAKATOMI BELIEVES IN IT!!!
Both prints are 12″ x 24″ hand-printed 10 color silkscreens. Regular edition is numbered out of 100, and the Metallic Variant is numbered out of 20.
Check out the how they printed the print HERE
Both prints are available right now in the Nakatomi store HERE.
