  • Photo of Mitzi Akaha

    Mitzi Akaha is 26 and has yet to settle into a 'profession' by which to identify herself here. She was born in the Midwestern US, raised along the California coast and currently lives in Tokyo where she continually finds reasons to prolong returning 'home.' Her recent drawings, mostly completed in quiet cafe corners, tend to feature caricatures of girls that are probably born from her mood at the moment, and can be seen on her site Ichi Nichi.
