ARTIST SPOTLIGHT
Kyra Kupetsky
Kyra Kupetsky (she/her) has been at the Animation Lab since 2017. She quickly became the Lead Animator and Voice Actor for The Good Advice Cupcake, and then created Chikn Nuggit in 2020 and has been the showrunner ever since. She draws inspiration from classic UPA cartoons, anime, and artists around her. Kyra hopes that her work shows people that they can make content even if it’s short and simple, and that the internet is a great way of sharing work with the world. Kyra loves lifting weights, working on garage-kit figures, and listening to long YouTube essays about all sorts of random things.
