She was known for her large scale, panoramic drawings of interiors that were created with many different materials in a collage-style. Her primary mediums were sumi ink and ballpoint pen on small to large scale paper panels. In order to complete a drawing she cut and pasted paper, editing and expanding the composition to achieve the desired scale. Her completed drawings reveal her working process through the wrinkles and folds evident in the paper. She described her work as "a kind of visual diary of what [she] see[s], touch[es], and desire[s]. As I move between the mundane empirical spaces of my apartment and studio, and the glamorous fictions of movies, apparently seamless environments are disturbed through ever-shifting points of view."

In 2013, he translated paint stains on his studio floor into a series of ink drawings that were exhibited in "Twilit Ensembles," his first Manhattan solo show, at Pocket Utopia on the Lower East Side. D'Agostino's work, which hovers between cartoon imagery and abstraction, has been lauded for a baroque sensibility, vivid imagination, and sardonic wit. New York Times art critic Roberta Smith said his drawings "deftly mine the territory between Marcel Duchamp and Dr. Seuss." Later he went on to create Chromatic Alphabet, a system of painted geometric shapes representing letters A-Z, a piece that was included in "Scriptive Formalities," a solo show at Life on Mars, in Brooklyn, NY. In an interview at The Huffington Post, D’Agostino said that the more he got involved in learning other languages the more he became passionate about the structure of the English language.
