Hip Lane Stories: Introduction

Admit it: We all love Hipsters. We all love the big glasses, the moustaches, the half shaved haircuts and the denim overloads. And though the skinny jeans might occasionally make us question their ability to reproduce, it’s clear that without our Hipsters Shoreditch just wouldn’t be the amazing unique place that she is. Realising this, local illustrator Libby Gurney has created ‘Hip Lane’ where Hipster comedy cartoons, Shoreditch and puns are the main focus. Each week she will produce comic strip “Hip Lane’s Rick Lame” for Made in Shoreditch where Hipster characters will take us on mini adventures! ‘Hip Lane’ also has a stall at the Back Yard Market every Sunday where Hipster illustrations, along with other themes, are available to buy on gift cards, posters and postcards. Please do like ‘Hip Lane’ on Facebook (www.facebook.com/HipLane) or follow on Twitter (https://twitter.com/Hip_Lane) to keep up to date on the stall and new illustrations! So without further ado, please meet star Hipster Rick Lame, and his Hipster friends Doll Stone and Jack Knee, as well as their disapproving next door neighbour Old Hag Gerston…
