Andrew Cuomo is inspiring crafty types to sell Cuomo-centric goods on Etsy, Dr. Anthony Fauci has become an unlikely art muse.

Brooklyn artist Jeremy Penn, who has painted Diane von Furstenberg, Kate Moss, John Galliano and Karl Lagerfeld, sold a portrait of Fauci for $15,000, we hear.

Penn — who’s collaborated in the past with Puma and the Row, and created a piece inspired by Lady Gaga for a Universal Music Group-sponsored benefit — is donating all proceeds from the Fauci piece to charities True Hero Fund and No Kid Hungry.
