Kyle Arneson is a freelance artist, production designer, and model maker who specializes in miniature effects and fabrication for stop-motion animation. Models he has contributed to have also appeared in live-action projects, customarily exploding after trying to kill famous actors. His work can be found in numerous mediums generally considered enjoyable by humans, including film, television, commercials, music videos, print ads, art galleries, commercially sold 3D viewfinders, and more with clients ranging from Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network to Warner Brothers and MTV.

Kyle studied philosophy at UCLA and is currently a graduate student of philosophy in Los Angeles. Despite this, or perhaps because of it, he ended up in the world of puppetry and miniatures. A balanced draw toward animation, architecture, design and neuroscience keep him in a state of constant existential torpor. He lives with his cat Spoony in Echo Park.
