This was a commission in which I turned a group of friends into their Dungeons & Dragons personas.

I may get tired of turning people into mermaids at some point, but it hasn’t happened yet. This was inspired by an instagram photo posted by Kat Mon Dieu of she and the great Dirty Martini performing at Night of a Thousand Stevies.

cavigliascabinet:

The Triple Goddess as 18th century whores (which seems like something that would be entirely possible). And a rat.

cavigliascabinet:

I drew this last night after becoming obsessed with a picture of late-Victorian.early 20th century actress Constance Crawley and her monkey.

I think I need to do a complete series. I am obsessed.

cavigliascabinet:

I created this image for a friend’s show about Julia Pastrana which will be at The Brick in Williamsburg this June.

If you would like to read about her interesting and tragic show biz career (which extended far after her death) please take a look at Trav S.D.’s excellent blog post.

cavigliascabinet:

I was planning on writing a Roger Ebert post, but for various reasons, I refrained. I did, however, draw this illustration in preparation.

cavigliascabinet:

Finished!

Ink, watercolor and gold acrylic (I couldn’t find my gold ink. I know it’s somewhere). As I said earlier, this was how I celebrated 4/20. I did no smoking of any sort, I just inked.

In my continued quest for world domination via reasonably priced art prints, I posted this on Society 6. Monsters abound.

The lovely and always hilarious Sara Benincasa commissioned a portrait from me which I finished yesterday. As she is (among many other things) the Jezebel advice columnist, we decided that all the starfish would seek advice from mermaid Sara. Please don’t ask me how ink works under water. It JUST DOES.

I finally got around to reading her book, Agorafabulous, which just came out in paperback this week, and it’s excellent. It’s the very, very funny autobiographical story of her anxiety disorder, how she got better and how she became a comedian. It’s totally worth your time and you should all read it. (I’ll likely be writing something more substantial about it in the very near future).

cavigliascabinet:

This was my entry to the NYBF illustration contest. I think I’ll tweak it a bit and submit it to some tshirt sites - since it already has such a limited palette, I may as well! I’ll keep you up to date with what’s going on with this as I proceed.

Good morning! I just cleaned this up a little and added it to my society6 store. All proceeds from prints (and related products) will be donated to the Ali Forney Center in NYC.

cavigliascabinet:

The other night I was lucky enough to attend Gotham Chamber Opera’s production of Eliogabalo at The Box. I watched and I sketched and I listened and it was pretty glorious.
