I absolutly love the raw rendering style of San Francisco based artist and illustrator Niv Bavarsky. Right this second, Niv is showing some collaborative works under the moniker Golden Source Power Three at Needles & Pens in San Francisco, with Jesse Balmer and Michael Olivo. The show is up through March 3rd and is definiatley worth checking out if you're in the neighborhood...

With a cartoonish aesthetic and bright, intricate lines, recent MICA grad and illustrator Niv Bavarsky is quickly creating a name for himself. Approaching his illustrations with light-hearted creativity, Bavarsky creates jam-packed images that are totally engrossing.

Niv (Neeeeev) Bavarsky is an artist/illustrator currently living in the Bay area of California. He received a BFA in Illustration in 2010 from the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, MD. He does some great, abstractly loose illustration work for himself and clients, including The New York Times, Plansponsor, Nobrow, The Stranger, MORE Collective, Vapor Records, and more.
