Japan

I am an American illustrator living in Japan.

I do all of my artwork on FOSS using Linux Mint. I've been an Ubuntu for many years, and recently switched over to Mint after being unhappy with Ubuntu 11.10 (specifically because all of the software I use to make my art is broken in the newest version of Ubuntu).

Nice to meet all of you!
