ART → Greatness | Andy Warhol’s Polaroids of Sports Champions
I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE THESE DAMN!!!!!!!!!!
Danziger Projects plays host to an amazing collection of polaroids by Andy Warhol entitled ‘Greatness’. “In 1977, Richard Weisman, an art collector and a friend of Warhol’s, commissioned a series of paintings of ten great sports figures of the era, now known as the “Athlete Series”. The group of athletes was selected by Mr. Weisman, and included stars of a variety of sports: Muhammad Ali (boxing), Pelé (soccer), Dorothy Hamill (figure skating), Tom Seaver (baseball), Jack Nicklaus (golf), O.J. Simpson (football), Chris Evert (tennis), Willie Shoemaker (horse racing), Rod Gilbert (ice hockey, NY Rangers), and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (basketball).” Warhol was the master of capturing the moment, in more ways than one, this collection of photographs shows another side to the artists ability to document and expose.
Available to view from the 31st October through to December 12th.

JD's World → SO SO DEF POKEN
I CAME BACK FROM BLOG WORLD AND TALKED ABOUT BEING INTRODUCED TO THE POKEN, A FEW DAYS LATER THE COMPANY REACHED OUT TO ME AND MADE A CUSTOM SO SO DEF POKEN
The true Geek Sexy will soon all have a Poken. It’s a social network business card and hip technology accessory that attaches easily to a keychain, conference badge, etc. The Poken centralizes all of your contact information along with your social networks and online information (e.g. Twitter, Facebook, blog, YouTube, etc). It’s a funny name, but a great concept. No more writing down your email or phone number on a random piece of paper at a club or handing out a business card at a networking event (which may or may not make it into someone’s address book). All you have to do* is touch your Poken to someone else’s (known as the “high four”) and your contact information is swapped. When you get back to your computer, insert your Poken into a USB drive and all of your new contacts are automatically imported. The Poken is recognized by all computers as a standard USB memory stick and doesn’t need to install any software. While you can’t all have my So So Def Poken they come in some pretty cool designs. *You do have to create a Poken account online in order to store your information.
