gocrea.ca Photographe, graphiste, illustrateur J’ai démarré mon entreprise de photographie et de graphisme en 2011, animé par une profonde passion pour l’art.

Au fil des années, mon style artistique a évolué, j’ai décidé d’assumer mon identité d’artiste et de donner mon nom à l’entreprise : Nichola Potvin : Photo + Design. L’art est au cœur de tout ce que je fais, et la photographie, le design et l’illustration sont mes moyens de partager cette passion avec le monde. I started my photography and graphic design business in 2011, driven by a deep passion

for art. Over the years, my artistic style has evolved, and that is why I decided to embrace my identity as an artist and name the business after myself: Nichola Potvin: Photo + Design. Art is at the core of everything I do, and photography, design and illustration are my ways of sharing that passion with the world.

✨ New Illustration – Embracing Authentic Sexuality ✨

I recently finished this piece featuring a man in full puppy-play gear, illustrated using Prismacolor Premier pencils.
This artwork is part of my ongoing LGBTQ+ series, which aims to shine light on diverse expressions of identity and intimacy.

One of my goals with this series is to de-stigmatize kinks and encourage people to embrace their sexuality without shame. Kink, like any other form of self-expression, deserves space to exist without judgment. For many, it represents connection, freedom, and authenticity.

By bringing these themes into my art, I hope to help normalize conversations around alternative sexual identities and encourage a more open, accepting mindset.

Everyone deserves to explore their sexuality safely, consensually, and proudly. 🐾❤️
Let’s continue creating space where authenticity is celebrated—not hidden.

✨ New Digital Illustration ✨

Created on my iPad Pro M4 nano texture with the Apple Pencil Pro, using Procreate.
This piece explores the beauty of light and movement — where soft curves meet neon intensity. The flowing hair, illuminated in magenta and cyan, symbolizes both strength and serenity.

I wanted to capture that moment where energy feels alive, yet calm — almost like a visual breath in color. 💫

“Connection.”
An exploration of intimacy, vulnerability, and light.
Created on the iPad Pro M4 (nano texture) using Procreate and the Apple Pencil Pro.
I wanted to capture the energy between two souls — raw, powerful, and tender all at once.

🎨 Coco the Dog – Pink Background

This is Coco 💕🐶
She’s the kind of dog that lights up a room just by walking in. I designed her portrait with a bold pink background to reflect her playful, affectionate spirit—always ready for cuddles, treats, and adventures.

Commissioned by my friend .ricky , this piece is part of a trio celebrating the furry members of his family. Using Adobe Fresco, Photoshop, and a combo of my iPad Pro M1 and Huion Kamvas 22, I brought Coco’s lovable personality to life, one brushstroke at a time.

There’s joy in every line, and Coco brings it all.
🐾 Pure love in digital form.

🎨 POST 3: Chucky the Dog

Say hello to Chucky 💙🐕
Chucky’s the cool, confident one—loyal, protective, and full of heart. I used a deep blue background to bring out his dignified presence, while still highlighting that unmistakable sparkle in his eye.

The final piece in this digital portrait trio for my friend .ricky , Chucky’s illustration was built with care using Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Fresco, iPad Pro M1, and my Huion Kamvas 22. I wanted every brushstroke to echo the strength and warmth he brings to his family.

Because some dogs are more than pets—they’re guardians of the soul.
🐶💙

🎨 POST 1: Cody the Cat

Meet Cody, the elegant feline with the soul of a philosopher 🐈‍⬛💚
I had the pleasure of illustrating Cody as part of a special commission for my friend .ricky . With his wise gaze and soft, sleek fur, I wanted to capture Cody’s quiet charisma against a vibrant green backdrop that complements his calm yet commanding energy.

This digital portrait was created using Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Fresco, my iPad Pro M1, and my Huion Kamvas 22—a combination that allows me to balance detailed brushwork with expressive digital layering.

Swipe to get lost in those eyes.
✨ Every pet has a story—this is Cody’s.
