Any "Artsy" people here?

[Minor League Brian]

I'm being bugged by a cousin for help with making something for one of his lady friends leaving for college. I'm apparently the "Artsy" one in the family, though I have no idea how music and movie making make me an art's and crafts guy. The 3 idea's I've given him have already been tapped (Home Made Photo Album, Drawing, and Flower Pens) so if anyone has some suggestions...please help. I tried Google with no success.

He's lookin' for something that'll be practical in use but "cute" in nature and something'll remind her of him.

You sound more like a Hipster.

Framing a picture is always nice, framing a collage of family photography is even better.

 

[Minor League Brian]

He ain't got that, and again this is My Cousin (so my family) and his girl (as in someone he has a thing for). So the family collage ain't gonna work though the idea of a picture frame isn't too bad. I had been trying to come up with some way to redo the flower pens and send him on his way. ~_~

And Hipster? WTF?

Buy a CD-player and glue a bunch of construction paper/glitter to it. Then burn her some CDs of music they both like and give them to her.

If only this were 1995. That would totally work.

Movie making and music, pretty much fits the standard Cali Hipster, especially if your pimpin' a Mac, but it's just a joke anyways.

I don't really have any other artsy ideas, maybe a good burnt CD, flowers, chocolates. Put some fake jewels on the picture frame, make it look all snazzy.

And totally get someone laid. If only an iPod was cheap.

Do you want to know whats really fucked up...I like some of the clothes from Urban Outfitters, like witty talking, and am pimpin' a Mac.

And I'd save the Good Burnt CD as last resort as I'D have to do it for him and I have no idea if they'll work on her computer/cd player. Why? I think I'm missing Codecs or something and am too lazy to find them.

You good sir, may be a hipster.

One more idea, I like to buy 2 gig usb sticks for ten bucks and load em up with CD's, pirated torrents and such, it usually looks like you put more time, effort and money than you really did. I've literally fallen back on that gift idea three or four times this year.

 

[Minor League Brian]

Actually, that's fuckin' Brilliant. If I can get a big enough one for movies.

 

[Smooth Sexual Chocolate]

I'm pretty sure you can fit a few movies on a 2gig, obviously depending on the size of the file. I can fit around 20 CDs on a 2gig usb stick.

I know, right? I thought about a cheap MP3 player, but that's really just a slap in her face. "What, you don't love me enough to get a real MP3 player? No sex for you."

And I can't do that to your nameless, faceless cousin. I just can't.

 

[Minor League Brian]

Even a cheap MP3 is like 50 or 60 bucks and fuck if I'm giving him the money for that.

Still, maybe it'd be usable as a nostalgia thing? Course...no one can fucking play cassettes now so it won't really work.

May I suggest a hammer. Wrapped in pink, purple or some other girly color cloth, and sparkley stuff? It'll totally come in use, and it's artsy...

Also, I find out now that I may be a hipster, as well? The hell?!

 

[Razor]

Right. I think our generation would be the last to even know what the hell to do with a cassette player. The CD Player would be at least reasonable for my 12 year old brethren to attempt to master.

I dunno man, a 2 gig USB is something what, 20 bucks at the most. Go Choco's route and flood a few with a bunch of CDs. Or a few scat porns. You never know what that cousin is into.

 

[Minor League Brian]

Well, Imma have to do the CD's for him and I don't know how the CD's are gonna work when I pop um out of my Mac. I know a lot of movies don't like to work, tis why I love digital uploads, but maybe those should be alright. I can get a mass amount of CD's for probably like 10 bucks.

You too might be a hipster, do the following photos mean anything to you?

Spoiler

 

[Minor League Brian]

Not many. I'll probably get similar glasses soon because I like smaller glasses. Love me some Chuck Taylors and old school Van's. Like vintage shirts. And most of the mentality bit I match up with.

Actually, my GF carries that bag, and I fall in line with most of it, except the hair styles, the tattoo (I'm hipper than that, I've got the Thundercats logo), and High Life, as it gives me teh headachies. Everything else, though....

Oh, and it's called a "scally cap", "Driving cap", or "Flat Cap". Only poseurs call them "Cabbie hats".

 

[Smooth Sexual Chocolate]

Costello frames, ultimate hipster glasses.

 

[Razor]

Filthy hipsters.

Except for those of you who have a white-man afro. Then I completely condone everything about you.

I had a pair of those a couple years ago! I was actually considering getting those for my next pair later this year...

 

[Remy LaCroix]

Hipster here (who uses cassettes to record minimalistic music) and I have to say wow, this thread got off-track...slightly, yeah. I got nothing to contribute.

Chucks, glasses frame, high life, hoodie, FREE, any kind of cigs but I don't like those, Vans, um...does Blue Moon count? Oh and I take photos to post up on blogs. That ain't the only bingo board, there is one in which I win.

Get some trash, a toilet seat, and cardboard and then glue them together. I don't know if it'll get you laid, but I know that the Museum of Modern Art in NYC will be interested, since I saw something just like this when I last went.

 

[Minor League Brian]

Well I've already given him a new idea I got from one of my lady friends so the Hipster comments are free game now.
