Hey there, were you a coworker of Kyle's at EA? A fellow game graphics programmer from Rockstar Games here.
I remember Kyle mostly from his days as a comic artist at my alma mater, Univ. of Virginia. I was a comic artist and editor several years after Kyle graduated but I still remember his work from my freshman year. It was a comic called Drool and was a very morbid comic but hilarious if you're into that kind of thing. It was much better than most of what comes out of xkcd and other fluffy nerd comics. I believe it was canned after Kyle ran a Jesus joke that rubbed some people wrong. The artwork in World of Goo comes directly from his old work.
I would point you to a URL of his stuff if it weren't for the fact that our school newspaper's website hasn't been fully functional since my roommate who maintained it graduated :(
Here's a decent article on Gabler from back in the day: http://www.virginia.edu/insideuva/2003/11/gabler_kyle.html
although it doesn't display any of his work. My roommate was managing editor last year for the CD and he likes to brag about the new site they have, but apparently it's not working at the moment.
