Patrick Kyle embodies many of the characteristics that have separated the Toronto comics scene from most others around the world. The care and attention that Patrick takes to the visual aspects of his work extend into the way he chooses to present and distribute it. Since graduating for Ontario College of Art and Design in 2009 Patrick has put out a massive body of work through his collective with Ginette Lapalme and Chris Kuzma, Wowee Zonk, the prolific Toronto based publisher, Koyama Press, and several self published projects. in addition to his vibrant and esoteric comic and illustrative work, Patrick is also in part responsible for curating the superb small press room at each year’s Toronto Comic Art’s Festival.
Through his many ventures Patrick has gained an intimate knowledge of the economics and idiosyncrasies of zine making, and has developed a really wonderful attitude towards a format that many people turn their backs on because of it’s lack of profitability. What’s important to Patrick is producing great content and creating platforms with which he can expose new audiences to his and his peers work, which he has successfully done with pretty much everything he as taken on. Today Patrick anticipates next year’s release of his new book with Koyama Press, Don’t Come In Here, and navigates which of the many projects he wants to embark on next.
