At Caviglia's Cabinet of Curiosites, we draw pictures and write stories. Some are true. Some are not.
We are currently accepting commissions of all sorts. Our online portfolio is located here. We specialize in pin ups, chorus girls, creative portraits, fairy tales and robots.
Longer musings can be found at the occasionally updated, original Caviglia's Cabinet of Curiosities blog.Please "like" our facebook page to follow all Cabinet related happenings and doings.
Do I really have to say this? PLEASE DO NOT STRIP THE TEXT FROM MY POSTS IF YOU REBLOG. It's unspeakably rude. Thanks ever so.
