Nimit Malavia’s work features grandiose scenes with youthful characters and allusions to the Victorian era. Recently, Hi-Fructose got the chance to spend a blustery February afternoon with the award winning illustrator in his Toronto studio. A transplant from Ottawa and graduate of Sheridan College, he is a fine artist as well as a professional illustrator for such clients as Marvel Comics, Shopify, the National Post and 20th Century Fox. When we arrived at his studio, situated in a second story downtown Toronto apartment, he was busy working on art for the DC comic book Fables and an upcoming show at Spoke Art in San Francisco.
