Here's installment #04 of my Hipster-of-the-Month series for FREEwilliamsburg.com, "Hipster With the Skinny Jeans"! Hipsters like standing out by dressing alike. Dress code usually include the SKINNY JEANS (or cut-off jean shorts) base, complimented with tight, loud chic shirts (anything with snap buttons are cool), sweatbands, Rachel Ray terror scarf, mustache, trucker hat, tattoos, vintage sunglasses, etc... anything "ironic" (like rain on your wedding day). I live in Brooklyn, so hipster poseurs are unavoidable. I saw a guy wearing a John Deere hat (a popular item) the other day, the irony being he's probably never done yard work (now you're getting it!). That gave me the idea to put some irony ON the irony and make it into a "Dear John" hat! "Dear John" was a TV show in the 80's starring Judd Hirsch, who replaces the deer in the logo on the hat. I thought it was clever. I spent about a half a day working up the illustration of Judd Hirsch's face, only to shrink it down to a quarter-inch for a joke nobody will get. I think it's worth it!
This hipster is designed to sit on the edge of your desk or computer or whatever... I wanted him to have long dangly legs. My original plan was to include shoes, but that would push the template to 02 pages and I want to keep things as simple as possible.
