09/07/2021 President Daryl Morey buys an NFT card of Sixers star Ben Simmons

 

Chuck Cook-USA TODAY Sports

Philadelphia 76ers star Ben Simmons has had a tough time since the team lost Game 7 to the Atlanta Hawks in the second round of the playoffs on June 20. He has been involved in trade rumors and trade suggestions after coming up small in the deciding game with Atlanta.

However, despite the constant rumors, president Daryl Morey bought an NFT card of his All-Star guard.

An NFT is something like a virtual basketball card, and Morey bought a Simmons one for his first big purchase on NBA Top Shot since April. It is one of only 28 moments and Morey bought it for $4,444.

Morey is known to be one of the more innovative front office members in the league so for him to invest in this new virtual wave isn’t out of character. It is very interesting to see how involved Morey is with social media and things of this nature.

This is a photo i took of my son playing around in one of our cat carriers, redressed to express the concern and damage the continuation of the trump administration could bring to the world in 2020 and beyond. Unlike the majority of my historic work found on opensea, all content was conceived and taken by me, so felt perfect to use as my first piece on Known Origin.

The Investor's Dream
The second "Visual Toy" about cryptocurrency and its universe that continues the exclusive collection on this theme. After the first Visual Toy, dedicated to the cryptocurrency itself, this visual toy is the other side of the coin. It represents, as its title tells us, the investor's dream, the current person and his financial hopes. A surreal fantasy of the dreams and longings of every investor, in this case the crypto investor. In this magical, happy and colorful dream, aspirations of all kinds intermingle, both the desire for great benefits, represented in a long animation that shows us a production cycle or series production that ranges from the gastronomic recipe of a two-ingredient cake. Bitcoin slice and Ethereum smoothie, passing through magic, represented in a fairy that transforms the cake into real money, which is sucked into a giant capsule to accumulate it and multiply it. The rest is full of investor aspirations, which appear in their dreams in the form of profits or screens that announce that values are rising steadily, as well as physical possessions, such as the sailboat, the helicopter, homes and other objects or possibilities. A dream full of happiness, fun and hope.

Christmas Sleigh
First Christmas-themed Visual Toy. For this work the artist has created a fantastic sleigh, ornamented in detail and with all the Christmas spirit that transports us to childhood, illusion, innocence. With its gift wrapping machinery, its Santa, a snow globe, the nutcracker, the European-style village and its soundtrack (first time with music) it is a whole Christmas mosaic for the imagination.
