Phuket Street Art - Part 2 "Hipsters"

Phuket Street Art - Part 2 "Hipsters"

**Hello **once again and hope all's good with you. Today we'll continue with our exploration of the local street art here in Phuket town. Phuket's not all just beaches and party. There's some **culture **too... old and new.
Last time in Part 1 the theme was the local girls in the art work. Today we'll focus on the hipster art scene. Over here "hipster" seems to have a good feeling behind it. As I lived in SF and Seattle previously during the time when both were just becoming "hip", hipster wasn't a compliment. Here it just means you're cool... Back in those times and places the term was about trying to be cool but not because of having no original approach. These guys are **original **enough here because they take styles that exist, mix and change them, making the result their own...

The Drawing Room

This is one of the local art galleries in Phuket Town, By far the coolest one as you can see below. I am quite biased though, as the owner, Ids, is a good friend and a remarkable artist. I'll try to get him in an interview for the series coming up on local people in Phuket. For more info Drawing Room Phuket. I didn't feature any of his artwork here specifically but rather outside of his gallery/cafe.
