forty-one; Brittany, Vintage Cruiser with coaster brakes


Working at a corporate second hand store, riding a power-generating second hand bike, she’s making Berkeley new (to her at least).
It’s a far sketch from her hometown in Sonoma where she fell for the idea of high school art teacher in a big city.
She studies the ancient art of portraiture at a cutting edge design school, painting nuance onto the tight canvas and denim of her hipster contemporaries.
She is a neoclassic rock star.
For now she has to be taught (and re-taught) the tedious technique of vintage T-shirt on coat hanger,
You can’t spell retail without art.
