If you have something in mind, don’t hesitate to reveal it. Ideas and imagination makes someone a real artist by heart. Whatever stuff you have in your head, it is part of your creative soul, your dreams and unseen passion. Being a true artist requires a lot of courage and confidence to express the real you from within.
As part of Kuris, Kyle Philip Ocate has been one of our most creative, extremely emotional and misunderstood animator who found solace with his artistic side. Even before he became part of the team, he choose to make a living out of his true passion…the “gothic and dark artist” that is truly him inside revealed in every artwork he did which supported his family for a few years already. Today, we will have glimpse of that unknown artist who now enjoy his family life and career as freelance artist.

In the previous interview I did in Kuris Talk, Kyle revealed lot about his life, his artistic influences of “macabre” and gothic arts, his passion for rock and punk music and so much more. After all, being a dad of his little girl, he needs to work hard to support his family. He even talk a lot about his experience in 2D animation training last year and what were his contribution to the formation of Kuris Animation Unlimited.

Well, there are lots of things we should know about Kyle aside from his long hair and punk get-up. In fact, he’s proud of his achievements in animation through Kuris where we created the first animated film about a school statue/mascot (Adventures of TASI) and the region’s first animated short film that combined 2D and 3D animation format (The BEQUEST: Origin of Dinagyang). His original animated character as part of Kuris mini-universe of heroes, “Metal Boy” soared high with awesome inspiration he got from watching animated films since his childhood years.

These days, Kyle continues to design cars, tattoos, t-shirts, artworks, portraits with mostly punk and gothic themes. In fact, he already has a long list of clienteles who commissioned him regularly especially from Boracay where his art pieces were sold to foreign visitors. He also joined several art exhibits which highlights his creative works. Everything he does reflects his artistic passion, his creative soul and in this kind of career he chose, financial gain is often secondary compare to his love for arts.

Have a glimpse of his creative pieces and we hope you get inspired by his passion.
