Visit Billy’s Behance for more work.

I was put onto Tom Neely, a painter and cartoonist living in Los Angeles, by Adam Albright-Hanna (@adamah). Neely's imaginary creatures reminded him of the fantastical Photoshop Bestiary from a few days ago.
Neely is best known for the cult-hit indie comic book Henry & Glenn Forever, which he created with his artist collective The Igloo Tornado whom were voted LA Weekly's "Best People in LA 2011."
