“Machine” — Fangoria 2010

 

Created by two of POKE’s finest beard wearers, Jason and Gavin Fox, incredible stuff from the comfort of their own garage. If i had a hat on I would take it off, but its that good I will buy a hat, put it on, then take it off.

Tour de France

 

As I have been away in France catching the end of the tour, I haven’t posted anything in a while. With this in mind I thought it was only fitting this Tuesday to forget about videos and concentrate on the ears with Kraftwerk’s “Tour de France”, click here to jump straight to it in your Spotify, Aero Dynamik is simply delicious. Also, hats off to Mark Cavendish, electric finishing.

POKE launch GlastoTag for Orange

 

Did any of your mates go to Glastonbury? (unfortunately I did not) If they did then they should find this rather interesting, its essentially a billion pixel image taken from the famous Pyramid stage during the England vs. Slovenia game (when times were much happier). The idea was to make the biggest, most tagged photo on Facebook photo ever. So have a cheeky look and if you spot someone you know, tag ‘em. Click here to view the site and get tagging, we are hoping to break the world record.

HelloVon: Nike Stadiums

 

 

 

 

 

Yesterday morning a cool project was unveiled as part of Nike’s World cup presence at Selfridges in London. Nike have partnered with London-based artist HelloVon to produce spectacular set of images, taking over the whole length of Oxford Street, celebrating some of the best footballers in the world.

 

The seventeen separate celebratory portraits capture the magic, passion and emotion of the tournament that will have the world fixated for the next two weeks. He’s done a pretty staggering job and the impressive 5m x 3m pieces are up until Friday – they’re well worth a cheeky look.

POKE vs AKQA

 

 

 

As the Poke footballers took to the Mabley Green pitch, looking particularly dapper in their red and white strips, expectations were high and fitness levels low for this much-hyped fixture. Cheered on by a raucous travelling army and under the tactical guidance of manager Dom O’Neill, the scene was set for an epic encounter.

The incredible production process of the Official 2010 World Cup match ball “Jabulani”.

Production capacity for the Official Match Ball for South Africa: 1760 balls per day. Production has been running since April 2009.

Bunch of Stars exhibition update

We had a final push to finish off all the press packs on Thursday, and we are lucky enough to have had the foreword written by graphic design legend Malcolm Garrett, who has famously worked with major 80s artists such as Simple Minds, Duran Duran and Peter Gabriel.

 

We’re also preparing to letter press the posters for the show by picking papers, organising inks and preparing plates. We can’t wait to get down into the workshops and start reeling off the prints, photos will be posted shortly. If you wish to receive an invite for the exhibition then please email me.

 

The brochures, which will feature a special phosphorescent cover will be on sale at the event along with the limited edition letter pressed posters. These will also be available from the Bunch shop.
