Kyle Platts è un giovane illustratore inglese che racconta la sua macabra e satirica visione del mondo attraverso le sue illustrazioni. Sin dalla conclusione degli studi accademici presso il Camberwell College of Arts nel 2011, il suo successo come illustratore freelance è stato immediato, tanto da veder pubblicati due suoi comic books: Megaskull e Festival Frenzy. Come illustratore Platts collabora con nomi altisonanti del panorama editoriale come Computer Arts, Bloomberg, The New York Times, Vice, The Believer and Anorak.
Fun has to be at the centre of work for me. I’m inspired by art that looks like it was fun to create, what ever form the art takes. I love to see people that are expressing themselves in a pure way. Art can do great things, it can convey emotive and important messages, but sometimes it can be ambiguous and inaccessible to the public. Comics and cartoons inspire me because everyone understands that format, I love to work in such a universal medium that can speak for itself.
