I like to sketch things from memory, impressions I have during the day and often contrived scenarios. Black Brush Sign Pen with white wash on halftone paper. ©2021KG

A representative of the United Nations came so speak at Lakehead University years ago and I did this drawing of him.

It's an odd feeling to reexperience the old anger and frustration I thought I had overcome, but, in all reality, I've been letting it creep back in for a while now. There was a moment of fear, it's still in the back of my mind, I'm afraid to slip back into the mental place I was a couple of years back. I'd like to say I've finally realized that it's ok to be afraid, and even a bit frustrated, but it's a matter of how I handle those emotions and my own reactions that make the difference.

A "longer" colored pencil drawing, took about 4 days, 6.25" x 6.25". What originated from a moment of frustration turned into me staring at some flowers in our house, and then into the drawing I now present. The piece's original purpose has shifted, and hey, that happens. I'm not sure what I'll do with it now, but I'll figure something out...

Watercolor of my older brother and his best friend. Time has separated them, but this is how I remember them. From a reference photo.

Created with micron ink pens and white gelly roller. Inspired by the forest.

This is an original painting of a secluded cove in the trees. I’ve tried sharing my art before and for criticized and accused of plagiarism when I drew an original animal that resembled that of another. I assure that my works are original. If they aren’t, I will give credit where credit is due.

Digital illustration made with iPad Pro, Apple Pencil, and Procreate.

Day 1 of a 40 days challenge of Pokemon: draw yourself as a Pokemon Trainer

One of my favorite things about being a parent is listening to the stories my daughter makes up and really trying to encourage her imagination. She has named a bunch of the cacti which line our windowsills, while our cacti are very accustomed to their suburban lives they also like a bit of adventure, this is a group of them taking a family vacation to the desert.

Hand. Incorporated a few techno from Lisa Congdon’s Inktober class on Creative Bug. Seems to evoke a little something.

I'm waiting for the Spring already :)

I love metallic sharpies

Another doodle realised for my personal 100 Days Project.

Another of one of my last doodles for the 100 Days Project. This is called "All in All" and it's directly inspired by All Apologies song by Nirvana.

Overview: The title of this piece is directly inspired by the lyrics of the song "Rabbit In Your Headlights" by UNKLE. I liked the fact that I shook the static sensation of this shot using some vibrant colours and decoration. The subjects seems to be frozen in time, waiting for someone that will save them.
