From Costume Designer to Illustrator and Author: An Artist’s Journey
by Bill Crisafi
My path from artist to author is something that wasn’t in my consciousness at all, but it ended up appearing at a time when I needed it most. I went from starting in fashion school and ultimately finding that general fine arts was a better fit, navigating the early days of Instagram to amassing over 300,000 followers and creating a brand using my illustrations as a guiding force. That path eventually led me to write my first book, The Glam Reaper’s Guide to Slaying, which is essentially an adult children’s book meant to bitch slap you into remembering you’re a fabulous diva.
