June Liu And Zia Link Direct

A digital artist and animator (find her as zia.draws or artbyzia ), Zia’s work explodes with line energy, mismatched patterns, and characters who look like they just told a secret. Think Sailor Moon meets Miranda July .

Their 2023 zine “Half-Light / Full Noise” paired June’s photography with Zia’s hand-drawn overlays—ghostly doodles drifting across real city streets. One image of a sleeping bus passenger, with Zia’s stars and thought-bubbles floating above, still lives rent-free in my head. We’re oversaturated with loud content. Shouting for engagement. Optimizing every post. june liu and zia

For me, that’s been and Zia .
