Hipster City Cycle is an 8-bit bike race adventure set in the neighborhoods of Philadelphia. Although, the game has not been released yet, it’s been getting a lot of buzz from the media. Even the hipster-haters, such as the upper-echelon New Yorkers, are getting a kick out of the idea of the game, posted in the New York Times: ‘If this is not happening already, someone should create a Hipster City Cycle for New York’.

Artsy Philadelphians get to be the first to test out the game. Hipster City Cycle has announced that they’ll be sharing their iPhones at the Part Time Studio’s One Year Anniversary art show on December 3. The game is scheduled for release sometime in early winter and it will be available in the App Store for iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad.

In a city full of run-down buildings, bum fights, carved names on stone walls and burnt down cars after a victorious Phillies game, you can find artist: Alex Lukas. McJAWN pays homage to this Philadelphia-based artist for turning something considerably ugly into something mysteriously beautiful.

His fascination for run-down buildings has led him to our city of brotherly love. His laughter for Batman has led McJAWN to him.

Shawn Hileman, last name pronounced (HIL-men) with a very strong German accent, is a Philadelphia-based designer, specializing in printmaking.

Hileman is ‘more-than-enough’ dedicated to every single piece: his business cards, for example, are printed on chipboard which is tediously sanded down. Hileman’s attention to detail makes his work clever and flawless. After staring at one of his art pieces for a good minute or so, it’ll have some people going, ‘Ohhh … I get it, now’. And other people: ‘Huh, I don’t get it. Oh wait, wait, I DO! I DO! Yayyy’.

Two Saturdays ago, McJAWN and Masthead Print Studio held the Monster Show, featuring artwork from over 40 different local artists, curated by illustrator and designer JP Flexner and Shawn Hileman. The evening was filled with all sorts of monstrosities: skeletons, griffins, naked ladies and things with many eyes. My personal highlight of the evening was the free booze and My Jello Americans treats.

Check out First and Fifteenth, housing famous Philly street artist, Stephen Powers, aka ESPO. Cornbread, the world’s first notable graffiti artist, used to tag his girlfriend’s name all around the city of Philadelphia, just to get her attention.

As graffiti gained more popularity, it lost its romantic essence. In 2009 with the help of the City of Philadelphia Mural Arts Program, Stephen Powers brought graffiti back to it’s original roots, in a form of a love letter. Words were painted that were drawn from the neighborhood, such as Your Everafter is All I’m After and Co-sign on Our Lifetime.
