Stumbleupon has done it again. This time I stumbled on the site of the jaw-droppingly talented Canadian artist, Nimit Malavia, and I couldn’t be happier. He resides in Ottawa, Ontario, where he creates his graphite and paint wonders that are gorgeous in every line stroke and color splash. His style reminds me of James Jean with a little touch of Alphonse Mucha. And he’s already gotten recognition from his peers, having recently (January 2011) won the Silver Medal from the Society of Illustrators for his piece “&”. Take a look at his site and blog, and tell me that you don’t agree that this guy has some talent! And if you still need convincing, take a look at one of my favorite drawings of his, The Little Things. Didn’t I tell you?! He’s part of the “A Taste Of Things To Come” group show at the Spoke Art Gallery in San Francisco, which will be open until August 25, 2011.

** STOP CENSORSHIP! **
Our censorship fight with the US Congress is far from over, as they continue to attempt to break the Internet with legislations driven by crony capitalism in the US and abroad. Though SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) and PIPA (Protect IP Act) have been pulled back for now, more continue to follow them. Now, we have to contend with ACTA (more) and TPP (2), which are international attempts to censor and control the Internet for the sake of commerce. And if that's not enough, now there's CISPA (more).
Go to EFF.org to keep up with the legal news that impacts our world and its technology. The greed won't stop, so we have to stay vigilant as well. Especially now that lobbyists are admitting out loud that they expect to be rewarded for their "contributions": Read it on TorrentFreakThanks for visiting!
