Photographer Allison Michael Orenstein captured [baker/blogger](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-pastry-project) Michael Martin in the buff. Martin is a contributor to East Village Boys, a blog dedicated to up-and-coming artistic talent. In this article, Martin strips down to just an apron for 'EVB Goes Domestic.'

Michael Martin is wonderfully self-depricating about his involvement in the [hipster food scene](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/supermoist). His super-cheeky remarks make his art references bearable, not pretentious. One of the instructions on the EVB site reads, "Most people make terrible pies that look good from a distance - like a Seurat painting, or Hillary Clinton. Don't do that. Make your friends jealous of your fantastic life by serving them something gorgeous." Ha! Hilarious. Who doesn't love a man who can bake?
