Kyle Platts grew up in Sheffield, England and despite being told by a careers advisor to work in a steel mill rather than pursue a career as a cartoonist, he studied illustration at Camberwell College of Arts and graduated in 2011. Since graduating he has had great success as a commercial freelance illustrator and had his first book Megaskull published in 2012. Kyle's comics aim to create a graphic reflection of culture where macabre content is juxtaposed with vibrant colour and comic humour.
