Sheldon original art

Anatomy of a Domovoy

Sheldon cartoons are hung in LA galleries, in the main lobby of Google, and in hundreds of homes around the world. And here's your chance to get an original Sheldon of your very own!

Each cartoon is a hand-drawn, hand-lettered, one-of-a-kind creation; drawn on acid-free Bristol Vellum cardstock using archival Faber-Castell and Micron pens. The originals are black-and-white, and commonly measure either 4 1/4" x 13 3/4" (for the horizontal strips), or 10"x13 3/4" (for the larger, double-tall strips). They frame up beautifully, and make any owner 26% better looking.

Note: Reproduction rights are not included in the sale of original Sheldon art. Only the cool awesomeness of owning your own original is for sale. And trust us: that's a lot of cool awesomeness.

TITLE: Anatomy of Monsters: Anatomy of a Domovoy

DESCRIPTION: A short man, with his back to the viewer, looks over his shoulder. He wears a green stocking cap, a grungy tan shirt, but no pants - his butt pale and visible. He has a long white beard and liver spots on his skin. His eyes glow red, and he stads on some wood floor boards.

JOKES:
- In Slavic Folklore, a Domovoy is a protective guardian spirit of the home.
- But in “Class-Good-Time-Slavic-Fun,” he’s a frantic old dude with flashing eyes who lives under your floorboards and throws boots at you if you cuss.
- When you move into a new home, you’re supposed to sacrifice a chicken, leave out a slice of bread, and say “Our Supporter: come into the house to eat bread and obey your new master.”
- Because nothing establishes a healthy room mate dynamic like blood sacrifice!
- If you’re poor, you sometimes get a naked Domovoy. AIN’T THAT A SLAP ON THE CHEEK.
- He lives under your floorboards! (Which gets awkward when you live on the fourth floor of a high-rise and he’s technically floating above the downstairs neighbor’s bed.)
- When your head hair segues seamlessly into your back hair.
- If you move house, a ritual lets you bring him along! (It’s just like moving your internet provider: Same number of dead chickens!)
- “Hey, did you remember to pack the keys?” “YES.” “And did you remember to invite the centuries-old demi-god to crawl to our new home?” “AW, DANG IT,”
