Tailypo

This piece was made for Beasts! Book Two from Fantagraphics. Tailypo was a beast from a ghost story I knew as a kid that turned out to be widely known in North America. The story tells of a hunter who comes accross a strange creature in the woods and takes its tail as a souvenir after nearly killing it. The fierce creature returns to take its revenge and reclaim its tail which it calls it “tailypo”.
