Hi I’m Kyle Freeman!
I’m an illustrator, artist, designer and sometimes writer from Sydney Australia. Friends say my speciality is drawing sad little guys wearing tiny hats.
Touching Doodles is a profoundly stupid and hopefully touching comic series written and illustrated by me. It’s sometimes thoughtful and sometimes silly. Touching Doodles is my longest running project spanning over 8 years and over 300 comics. All of the original comics were made with just ballpoint pens and post-it notes. The format is going to get a lot weirder from 2024 onwards.
This site is also meant to be a home for all my other creations away from the gaping maws of algorithms and social networks. It’s a collection of what I’m most proud of and most eager to share. My art usually focuses on a host of reluctantly cheerful characters living in a slightly twisted world. I’m obsessed with interesting lines and wobbly shapes.
My best work is usually with a pen and paper but I’ve always dabbled in digital art and sometimes mix the two. More recently I’ve become obsessed with cardboard. I’ve also done a heap of life drawing over the last few years.
Thanks for having a look around and please say hi 👋
