Nimit Malavia
If there's one thing you can quickly identify from Nimit Malavia's work, it's his strengths in line and composition. His illustration and personal work seldom carry similar arrangements, but what do end up becoming patterns in his work, like the ebb and flow of lines, creating harmony and a unique edge are qualities that never get old.

Its focus is on growth of the individual artist—those involved can learn new skills, build a portfolio, or just hone their existing technique in an environment that fosters communication, even friendship, with others who have the same interests and talent. As the school expands, it will continue to look to local artists to participate both as students and instructors, further developing the lively arts scene in Jersey City and beyond.Founded in 2010 by Keith Chiappone and Narciso Espiritu Jr., Instigatorzine is an independent literature and art magazine providing a platform for writers and artists who have none. Based in Jersey City and Bayonne, NJ, Instigatorzine receives submissions from all over the world and publishes them in a bi-monthly schedule. Instigatorzine is also one of few magazines that creates illustrations for submitted literature. Instigatorzine is not about reptiles.Cover by Narciso Espiritu Jr. Art Social |
