Hi, my name is Matt and I am an artist from Nebraska, USA. I have been using Textfugu for a while now, and have just started using the forums. Learning new things is one of my passions, and I want to include some Japanese in my artwork. I have always been fascinated by Japanese culture, starting from early exposure through anime, video games, and references in early cyber-punk. My main goal is to start consuming Japanese pop culture without the need for translation. Nice to meet you all.
