YES, I CAN MAKE ARTWORK FOR YOU!
Just send me an e-mail and tell me what you want. An artwork like the ones in my portfolio will cost an average 200 euro.
I will make a sketch first and you decide if it's o.k. When it's o.k., I will finish it. Allow two days between start and finish. When you are satisfied, you pay (I accept PayPal) and then I will send the artwork in every size/format you want, ready for web and printing.

BlueHipster is the artwork-alias of Bert Taken. After highschool he attended the Graphics Course at the Arts Academy in Arnhem (The Netherlands). But before graduating he switched to physics and information-technology. Many years he spent teaching at a Multimedia Academy and making music with several bands. Currently Bert is living in Utrecht (The Netherlands) working as a freelance artist, making music with Black Market Audio, and traveling all over the world (not all at the same time...).

Why BlueHipster?
In 1957 Norman Mailer published his controversial essay "The White Negro," in which he introduced his conception of the hipster, the rebel who chooses to live outside of society rather than to suffocate within it. In that essay, Mailer argues that the hipster has an obligation to rebel against a conformist corporate society even though he will be perceived as amoral. Mailer describes hipster’s as individuals, “with a middle-class background (who) attempt to put down their whiteness and adopt what they believe is the carefree, spontaneous, cool life style of Negro hipsters: their manner of speaking and language, their use of milder narcotics, their appreciation of jazz and the blues, and their supposed concern with the good orgasm.”
Well, at least some definitions refer to me and I wish I had most of the other qualities. I am also a great fan of Blue Note music and cover art.
So the alias BlueHipster does say something about who/what I am, or who/want I want to be ...
