Last month our Nicer Tuesdays event focused on storytelling, with four speakers tackling how this much overused idea informs and inspires their work. Illustrator Kyle Platts, one of our absolutely favourite creatives, explained that life “is a sandwich filling between two baps of infinity” and so storytelling is our response to this, as a way of passing on experience from generation to generation.

“Even fiction is a reflection of your reality,” he pointed out, and showed how he creates narrative structure in both three-panel comics and more detailed landscape scenes.
