ZINE
ZINE is a magazine that is a "noncommercial often homemade or online publication
usually devoted to specialized
and often unconventional subject matter"(wiki)
So, my first ZINE is about Art, Coffee and Culture.
And probably making another in the future :)

ZINEとは、英語の「magazine」の語尾を取った言葉で、内容は多岐にわたり、
形式も自由な冊子です。
ということで、私の最初のZINEは
アート、コーヒー、文化をテーマにしました！
これからもいろいろ作りたいと思っています。
Espresso Nomad
You might already know who I am (if not check out Home!) I've been around quite a few countries in my life.
So I just wanted to share my experiences with people since I've moved back in where I was born recently.
My life cannot be explained without those things!
Art, Coffee and Culture.
I hope you can enjoy it too!
Illustrations
I picked up 4 major countries to write about this time. I have more countries and cultures to write about, but I kept it small size since it's a ZINE!
I made characters for each country. Koala for Australia, Espresso for Italy, Croissant for France and Fox for Germany!
there is cannoli around neck of Espresso Chan because I love it! And you might wonder why Fox for Germany, it's because I often saw foxes on the street in Berlin :)

About Mia
Hello
I’m Mia from Japan, and I've spent half of my life living outside Japan.
I'm currently back in Japan!
I've lived in places like Australia, New Zealand, Luxembourg, Canada, France, Germany, and I’ve traveled around Taiwan, Thailand, and the Philippines.
I have a passion for learning about different languages and cultures!
I studied Japanese calligraphy and fashion in Japan, then entered the fashion industry.
In Australia, I began cooking Japanese cuisine and learned about coffee!
I also worked as a barista and have a knack for latte art!
Drawing has always been a part of my life.
The lockdown inspired me to start creating digital art.
I hope that my art, experiences, and skills can bring joy, help, and positivity to someone!
Thank you.
Mia
