Arthur Kavanagh
Illustration

A range of commissioned works for local businesses, community publications, fellow artists; along with works from my OCAD University thesis.





Comics

My precious comics! which are published in KW’s The Community Edition monthly,  Pulping Zine’s Issue 2 (2025) , and in the zine Long in the Tooth co-created alongside Josh Milton-Bell.




Painting

Collection of paintings from 2021 --- 2023 

Through the painting process, I think of the sacred world. What emerges in the end are love letters to  an incarnation here on Earth. Also I have beautiful friends and sometimes I do portraits of them. 


Sketchbooks

Pages from my
2021 --- 2023 sketchbooks.

[Entry from 2023 sketchbook]
We were entering the year of the rabbit, and the symbolism of its purity, vulnerability and perserverance would move me towards an almost obsession. The parallels that we all felt towards the rabbit...
awaiting the foxes bite of death that could strike at any moment. 

Many of these drawings were drawn in the Grand River chemo suite alongside my dearest pa, in my bedroom late at night, and amongst my new love over beers and chess around town.

He wonders how it’s all so alive and seeks to figure this out through the ways he knows best.
