About the Author
Born French, Unknown Hipster early moved to New York to become a painter, a poet, or whichever position was available on the Art scene. Once a lead tambourin for « Uneven dusk », it’s unclear what became his main occupation after the band quickly broke-up. All can be said is that Unknown frequently appears at Fashionable and Cultural events without being necessarily on the list.
The Unknown Hipster blog started in April 2009, and a book, “The Unknown Hispter Diaries” will be published by August Editions Editions, available November 2012.

i adore your work.
now i adore your blog.
Ah Ah Ah, je vous adore! Quel talent! J’ai ete tres amusee par votre dessin de Scott et Garance. Vous etes formidable. Dorenavant, votre blog sera sur ma liste de Favorites, et je vous regarderai tous les jours.
J’habite l’Afrique du Sud, et j’ai un clavier qwerty, donc pas d’accents, alors vous pardonnerez mon orthographe.
Bon courage avec vos merveilleux dessins,
Barbara
love!
I love your work, can I say that without sounding stupid? Yes because I’m not saying it, I’m typing it!.
If you don’t mind me asking, are you the Dude?. Also exactly how is an unknown granted entry to these stiletto crazed events? Do you push your way through, or simply glide? If the answer is B, then I could happily tag along.
So glad I stumbled upon your blog (Thanks, Garance)! Keep sharing, unknown hipster. I’m definitely intrigued.
I LOVE YOUR WORK!!! 😀
Great blog!!
its nice to see people who DRAW instead of photograph for a change! Kepp it up! Don’t you ever dare lose momentum! (:〈
Coooool ! just luv it
Bonjour,
I have a french name, but I am from The Netherlands.
Today I discovered your site and I must say…I LOVE IT.
Keep on doing what you´re doing and you´ll become a FAMOUSHIPSTER one day.
Au revoir!!
p.s. You look like SEBASTIEN TELLIER……..
Dr. Mr. Unknown,
A little fan mail from Cairo 😉 Just stumbled across your blog and must say, hurrah for incognito-plaid-wearing-poet-musician-artists with the panache to pull off getting into events without being on lists! Your sketches are so amusing and endearing. Good luck with your blog, it’s already starting off so beautifully.

Dear Mister Hipster,
We have been swimming through your column since it’s start.
We especially like your photographs of Sydney Australia.
If you want we can lend you an underwater camera.
Best regards,

glad to hear someone else in cairo loves this blog. bravo 🙂
I love your work and univers !
Love!
I just found your site today and am a new fan! With love from Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Dear Unknown,
So, you are a bearded man ?
Just discover your blog, as good as your print work ! What is really cool is that we don’t have to wait too much to appreciate your stories now !
Must have !
A non-exhibitionist, curious hipster is hard to find.
C’est traumatisant, attendre les mises-a-jour.
adore what you are doing. simply magnificent, words and pictures. many thanks to garance for introduction! beautiful!
Please update more often…you are addictive
Really enjoy your style sense. Nice writing as well. Keep up the terrific blog.
Jg.
Your blog is well-executed & very witty..I love this character…Your new book is wickedly funny…can’t put it down. Except to go to earn a living, that is..
Quite possibly- you are my favorite fashion find in twenty years!
love the blog.
your drawings are a joy!
Dear …,
I think we might be brothers… someone lost you in the nursery and we never heard from you again. Until now!
I know it’s shocking but it can be true! Mom says that your name is Peter!
Do you want to know how I know it is you? We share one talent… I also
never have invitations!
Great job! 🙂
You are just the funniest guy ever.
Thanks for the puff of lightness into my life. As I have somehow been sucked into this vortex.
Fourteen years in New York and now exiled to Sydney.
And nominally in fashion.
I must have done something hellish in my last life too.
Regards.
ahaha.
je n’ai lu que quelques articles, notamment celui sur Garance Doré et Scott Schuman, et cette présentation, mais je crois qu’en une soirée, je vais tout lire tellement votre humour me plait.
l’écriture donc, mais aussi les dessins, si originaux, les regards surtout sont impressionnants.
booon mon message est d’une affreuse banalité, je le conçois, et je déplore ne pas avoir la plume d’un grand écrivain afin de me faire remarquer et d’obtenir une réponse à la question qui suit (question bizarre je sais), mais bon allez, espérons.
ma question bizarre donc, quelles sont vos influences littéraires, artistiques qui nourissent votre écriture et vos dessins?..oui quand j’aime l’état d’esprit de quelqu’un, j’essaie de savoir ce qui se passe dans la tête de ce quelqu’un afin de, je ne sais pas, m’imprégner, essayer de partager un peu ça.. j’aime votre autodérision (enfin d’après le peu que j’ai lu), et j’aimerais savoir, si c’est possible de le formuler, d’où ça vient..
voilà merci en tout cas.
bonne journée!
why do you need a location to become a type of person as “poet”? you were already all things. the move to ny is a leaf falling in the fall.
I think we just found a picture of the Unkwnown Hipster, or maybe a look-alike who met him during his many travels ? http://stockholmstreetstyle.feber.se/art/165201/christian/
It seems like this dude is wearing an Indian tie that I left behind me at a Kings of Convenience concert in Stockholm.
WOW! I really don’t know how I ended up here, but I’m happy!
Your drawings look so effortless, I really envy you 😉
Now I’m a follower.
Congratulations!

Just put your blog in formol. Value doubled already.
I think your “style guy” drawing of the guy in silk long underwear is permanently ingrained in my brain, or do I have the wrong guy?
I’m in love with your well crafted sentences.
Er, I’ve posted about mistaking Sebastien Tellier for YOU on StyleScanner.com. today.
Sorry!
Style Scanner…
Cool Site and drawings ! Will do a review on it really soon ! Et apparement nous avons due nous croiser a pas mal de parties…
You are so wonderful! Love your work xo
This is a really clever blog. PS: Did you know there are coyotes in Boston too?….I saw one near Beacon Street in Brookline in February.
I love the irreverence – brilliant… I laugh all the way from Australia! x

Haha, i like the “born french” part. will you die as an american ?

Very nice drawings. Pleased to meet you.

u r funny.
i ❤ t. blog.
i'm going to kill myself now.
love the blog, especially the legs of all your drawings…:)
I was so surprised to read about Sophie Calle and Marguerite Duras in the same sentence that I had to tell you WOW. I used to love them separatly, but that was before you made the connection.
Very stylish – thanks for the inspiration 🙂
You are hilarious! Are you on twitter?
Mr. Delhomme, I prefer your drawings to my writings on the Perrotin Gallery opening in NYC. They are so droll. Thanks for your gentle rendering.
