We met Lynne Yoshii through Emet Comics. She is the artist behind Inside the Loop (our review is coming soon!). I had so much fun talking to her about nerd things we actually spoke for a bit after the ep as well.
Hawaii
Lynne Yoshii was born in Hawaii! I am very jealous of course for Lost reasons.
Her family is Japanese and while she was in Hawaii they made sure she learned the language by enrolling her into a special Japanese-only supplementary school. In fact, she was one of if not the only American residents there.

Japanese Culture
To help her connect with the Japanese culture and language, her parents happily indulged any request to buy comics. So Lynne has been very familiar with many types of manga and anime since she was a child and discovered western art as she grew up.
New York
We also discussed what it's like to live in New York.
Where to Find Lynne Yoshii:
Emet Comics, DeviantArt, Facebook, Her Site
