One of the many victims of Hurricane Sandy was Keith Ciaramello’s shop, Kustom Kulture Gallery. Since the storm has passed, Keith has been dealing with putting his life back together, hassling with the headaches of insurance companies, and trying to make life somewhat normal again.

To make the financial burden a little easier, Keith has started auctioning a variety of personal items. Some of these items are personal items, other pieces are original pieces by Keith, and some are donations from fellow artists. If you’re interested in helping out, visit Keith’s website and start bidding.
