Benjamin Lotan is not just your typical everyday artist with a website… he’s an artist with a website and a little ingenuity, piggybacking probably the biggest movie of the year. That’s right… he’s a smart artist (which is incredibly rare).
Okay okay… quit hating!!! Artists are all very creative and usually quite intelligent people… but smart in the ways of the world… just not the norm. Which I imagine is why “starving artist” is a very common phrase.
Back to my story… Mr Lotan took a little website you may have heard of with over 500,000,000 subscribers, threw a little artsy fartsy into the mix and came up with a pretty decent idea. The Friend Poster ($20) is his special way of allowing all of you Facebookers to print out that loving group of people you call “friends” into a hangable wall poster (as proof that you can connect socially with other humans).
Good idea? Sure. I’m not tossing 20 bones at a poster with 111 little pics (as much as we looooove our FB buddies)… but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t. If anything, it’s a reminder that at some point all of those people said “Sure, I know them, why the hell not be friends… I just hope to god they don’t play Farmville all freakin day!!!”.
PS We are on facebook (if you dare)… listed as WhiteGlossy UndergroundBoard.
I don’t think they do this anymore. Here is a website that does though, postermash.me. Like you said, printed high quality posters of your social friends pics…Enjoy!
