The last couple of weeks the guys at Nakatomi Print Labs have been working on a silk-screen print recreation of one of Bernie Wrightson’s CLASSIC paintings- “You’re New Around Here, Aren’t You?” from 1978.
This intensive, 10-screen project has been, by far, the most challenging and rewarding jobs they’ve ever had in the shop. They started with a great high-res scan of the original painting, which came to us as a surprise extra with the original Frankenstein line-art images last year. A good portion of Bernie’s paintings have NEVER been scanned digitally and they were very fortunate to be able to get their hands on this one. They sent the file to Nakatomi fellow, Jon Smith to separate for printing, as he’s had a long track record of getting amazing and vibrant photo-like results in his prints for years now. The only instructions to Jon were to ‘do the art justice, and go with as many screens as you think you need.’ Jon came back to them with the file as a 10- screen adaptation (pictured above), along with an 11-screen variant. Bernie approved the regular AND the variant colorway- which was something they WEREN’T QUITE SURE how he’d feel about- Nakatomi tinkering with his art like that, and they’re super-excited about the results.
