About

 

Bill Crisafi is an artist who lives and works in Chicago, IL. His body of work is heavily influenced by the occult, drag, fashion and the nostalgia he has for the dark history of his home state of Massachusetts. He communicates his ideas through illustration, sculpture and photography which explore themes of magic, folklore, merged together with a touch of camp and humor. His photographic work developed from his passion for costume construction, and allows him to bring to life the world he creates through illustration. 

Crisafi holds a degree both in Fashion Design from The Fashion Institute of Technology as well as a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the School for the Museum of Fine Arts & Tufts University.
