Life just looks better when you give it a second glance and put it on paper, which is exactly what German-Japanese artist Mikiko is doing!
Currently based in London, Mikiko â who was born in Tokyo, but also grew up in Hong Kong, Germany, and Belgium â has always looked at manga to connect to her roots.
She lives with her cat Emi, who appears in many of her creative illustrations.
Check out some of her work below:
Mikikoâs illustrations are just truly hilarious and amazing! Share this article and support her on Patreon.
Many people might not know this, but despite our large and loyal following which we are immensely grateful for, NextShark is still a small bootstrapped startup that runs on no outside funding or loans.
Everything you see today is built on the backs of warriors who have sacrificed opportunities to help give Asians all over the world a bigger voice.
However, we still face many trials and tribulations in our industry, from figuring out the most sustainable business model for independent media companies to facing the current COVID-19 pandemic decimating advertising revenues across the board.
We hope you consider making a contribution so we can continue to provide you with quality content that informs, educates and inspires the Asian community. Even a $1 contribution goes a long way. Thank you for everyone's support. We love you all and can't appreciate you guys enough.
