Artist of the Day: Patrick Kyle

Patrick Kyle is a Toronto-based comic artist and illustrator. His non-traditional comic designs often feature troll-like creatures and a world rendered with a flat sense of abstract space and gradated pastel and neon hues. One series of drawings on Patrick’s website is directly inspired by the troll illustrations of Swedish artist John Bauer. Below is the cover to Patrick’s recent mini comic, Foreigners, published by Space Face Books.

Patrick experiments beyond his primary medium with ease and created this animated video for the track “Vacationation” by the band Hooded Fang:

You can see more drawings and comics from Patrick on his Tumblr, Flickr, portfolio website, and comic website What Things Do.
