about

Billy Kheel lives in Los Angeles and slowly leaks all the cartoon, Low- Brow Americana in his head out through his hand and onto canvas and wood.

He eats alot of Asian food and thinks that might be affecting his artwork lately.

An avid bicycler, Mr. Kheel finds inspiration in the natural world, particularly in an urban setting.

Here's some video of him dunking.
