OTBKB is a proud sponsor of the 2nd Annual Lyceum Spring Food and Craft Market at the Brooklyn Lyceum on May 1 & 2 at the Brooklyn Lyceum on Fourth Avenue and President Street in Park Slope.

This year, the Market, a fully curated craft market with handmade wares, will occupy both floors of the historic Brooklyn Lyceum, formerly a public bath. Clocks, hats, art, bath and body, kids’ products, and much more, the Market will feature local, crafty food – artisanal delights like pickles, chocolate, jam and more, as well as classes and workshops both days

Should be fun!

This week’s OTBKB artist pick of the week is: Bicycle Paintings and Custom Bicycle Portraist by Talia Lempert.

You’ve heard of dog portraits, well this artist will do a portrait of your bike. What a cool idea. Describing her work, Lempert writes:

Bicycles are important, beautiful,
and worth a close look.

Most bikes I paint are, or have been, used daily
for transportation, recreation,
messenger work and/or for racing,
They are worn and customized uniquely,
being at once a specific bike
and a collective symbol of empowerment.
