What is a hipster? Look at this fucking hipster...

Look's like she's got over excited by of those don't panic envelopes full of colourful flyers for fabric and 93 feet east.

When can I swing by and get them?

I dunno. I'm incredibly busy these days. I could give them to sumo and you can pick them up from lmnh or come see me at work one day and buy even more of them.

Ill try and swing past the shop. Failing that Ill get them from sumo. I owe him a ti toupe

Re: the hipster triangle,

Kate was way late to that particular party.

I really don't understand this triangle thing which, ipso facto, means I am not a hipster.

She has a triangle necklace I see and works in a clinical, sterile environment, bathed in pristine white. She's either a hipster or a vet.

She's an illustrator from Camberwell college who has been doing this geometric stuff her whole career and pretty much invented the hipster triangle. In her second year at Camberwell she was commissioned by Cadburys to do a nationwide billboard campaign and has since been absurdly successful and works with lots of hipster bands doing their artwork and music videos. Cue crippling jealousy of all hipster art students everywhere.

This is not completely true. There's a lot more to it that "she just got commissioned" - it's much more complicated than that. I'm not going to spell out what/ how. Bit pointless. Plus she does actually do a fairly large quantity of work for larger corporates too.

There's no denying she's a hipster, but she's stupidly talented and also an interesting/ nice person too. I prefer to judge her on those facts than her clothes and some triangles.

Just sayin'

its not a necklace its incase she has an emergency or breakdown

^^I'm judging her on her inclusion in this thread. I'd not heard of her before.

fair play :)

This

Wasn't she judging the Grafik awards when she was 23 or something?

She has been super prolific and had a dream career*

*for those that like to draw things and get paid.

You say pomade, I say pomarrrd...

Is it "Smell like a pirate" day already?

now I just lounge around at home in my thermal pjs

Thermal PJs might become cool though and then you're back where you started, no?

They'd be pretty shit thermal PJ's then would they?

Hey, I wasn't hating on Kate Moross! I was only trying to describe her "in a pistachio nutshell" as requested and in a way most relevant to this thread (i.e. how much of a hipster she is) and to people who don't know/care about the art/design world. I really admire her for how dedicated and prolific she is, and she's achieved so much in a very short space of time, she seems really down to earth and cool and I'm mad jealous of her *(see "cue crippling jealousy of all hipster art students everywhere") *and I know that she was known before the Cadburys thing for her flyers and posters and I know that she does a lot of work for a massive range of things but I didn't think it was necessary to point all of that out to people who don't give a shit.

isn't she the skinny bird from croydon that loves a bit of the drugs?

Good luck to her I say, gawd bless er, even if she's into evil triangles and will never know the love of xander. I rather like the cut of her jib, I like the pattern that looks remarkably like the mercury mazes we used to get from Satan Claus in those idyllic 80s Christmas stockings. Very puzzly. Very buggles. Very batwing jumper.

I don't know that I've ever created anything original but I'm happy to have helped out in one or two nice lovely excellent projects through my work. Otherwise, I'm a pretty average but I like what I do, mostly. I'm happy with that. I'd say the anonymity of mediocrity is a much nicer place to inhabit, though I can't say that from experience of being notable. Who wants to be 'successful' anyway? ugh. So Tory. The only thing winners do is win. Losers have so much depth, all that longing and envy. All that pride, and dignity. Successful people just end up selling their art to Obama and Cameron. FAIL.

I'm going to stay an amateur forever. Amateurs have nothing to lose...
