- Amazing Making of Latte Art Video!
In this video, I was conscious about showing how I usually go about drawing latte art. Usually, I carefully select an easy looking drawing to transform into latte art. However, for this work, I changed it at the last minute, so I was worried about whether I would be able to draw it well. Drawing a latte art of Luffy was long overdue for me.
Using the theme of Luffy from the second movie that Oda directed, I simply expressed a facial expression of Luffy standing courageously against an enormous enemy. I also drew this piece using a facial angle that I don't normally draw, which added to the difficulty of it. When I first started, drawing Hatsune Miku always gave me problems, no matter which ridiculously cute reference illustration I used. Even this time, figuring out how to draw the fine details in her hair and eyes proved difficult. There seem to be many fans who like cute characters such as Hatsune Miku. I will strive to create latte art that will make them roar with excitement.- 8624

- Mattsun's Latte Art: Majin Boo
The first latte art of mine that was posted to TokyoOtakuMode was this one of Majin Boo from Dragon Ball. Before I began posting, I was able to see various articles and I was moved by the quality of other creators' works. After seeing such great work, I was anxious of whether my work would be able to stand up to the rest. However, after I began posting, many users began liking my work; I even got a good response from overseas users, which surpassed my expectations. This gave me confidence to continue my work. From becoming acquainted with the popularity of Japanese anime overseas, as well being inspired by the works of other creators, I have been able to expand my work.

- Mattsun's Latte Art: The Gleaners by Jean-François Millet
Recently, aside from just drawing anime characters, I have also been drawing portraits and animals. However, what has been the most popular lately is expressing the world of some of history's greatest paintings as latte art. Using such a grand topic took too much time to fully investigate, and I was disheartened when my initial work amounted to nothing. However, the feeling of success when one finally came out to my liking was even more thrilling and exciting than when I draw other characters. It is said that my latte art is similar to India ink painting in that my art is drawn from two separate shades of white and brown. In the future, I plan to challenge myself to draw more in the style of India ink painting and to also use different bowls to draw in, not just cups. I want to challenge the limits of what is possible with latte art.

About Me
Mattsun
Latte Artist / JapanI drew my first latte art in 2009 at an Italian restaurant I was working at. The first character I drew was Japan’s national character, Isono Katsuo. Presently, I have drawn more than 500 varieties of latte art. In 2011, the latte art I had drawn up until that point become popular on the internet, and in the summer of 2012, due to the support of fans, I held an exhibit called “Blue Sky Latte Art” in Dotonbori, Osaka. There were even announcements for it online, and it turned out to be a huge success. Now, I am known by overseas users, and my work is featured on TokyoOtakuMode as well as internet news sites both inside and outside of Japan. In the winter of 2012, I also appeared on the TV program “Star Draft Kaigi”. My current goal is to own my own mobile cafe so that I can bring smiles to people all across Japan. I moved from Osaka to Tokyo and I am beginning my career as a latte artist while going to various events.
