STREET ARTIST, CARTOONIST, ADVOCATE

Nina Palomba is an independent artist whose colorful paintings and whimsical illustrations help her stand out in today’s contemporary scene. Her unique blend of street and pop art has become affectionately known as “Nina’s World.” Inspired by Archie Comics and the early ages of Animation including Betty Boop, Nina’s work inspires feelings of nostalgia, curiosity and love.

In addition to Nina’s exciting paintings and murals, her creativity can be found across TV, film and commercials. Her original artwork has been featured in publications across the globe including Playboy and Visual Magazine. She works as an Art Director and Production Designer for various global studios, consumer brands and media companies including ABC, Netflix, Walt Disney Studios, Dreamworks and Universal Pictures. She has already begun to make moves as young woman in the field leading projects for Apple, New Balance, Adidas, Hot Wheels, and Heineken. With big entertainment dreams, she soaks in all of these experiences for her future as creative director of her own animated TV show.

As an lgbtq+ advocate, Nina supports the community by painting uplifting murals, leading student workshops within the Los Angeles School District and partnering with non-profits on dedicated programs. She has worked with DTLA Proud, LA Pride and Weho Arts to bring original artwork and permanent murals to West Hollywood and Pride events in Los Angeles. This year Nina was chosen to be a featured lgbtq+ artist in Playboy’s “Pride is Good” Campaign. In collaboration with Playboy Nina designed a pair of Bunny Ears that were produced for World Pride Day and sold to raise money for the Trevor Project.
