My Bio
Current Residence: Inner Mongolia, China

I'm a NZ-born astrophysics graduate but I'm also interested in East Asian calligraphy and painting. I'm currently teaching English here in Inner Mongolia.
I want to become much better at calligraphy so I'm happy to receive any and all comments and feedback.

はじめまして、私は助守和(ジョシュワ)です。 ニュージーランドで生まれて、大学で天体物理学を勉強しました。私は今日本で英語を教えています。書道にも水墨画にも興味があります。^^

I don't often do this, in part because I don't think I'm good at it, but a friend on DA has been having some trouble. ~woohooligan (https://www.deviantart.com/woohooligan) has been making interesting comics here for some years now, and has recently made the move to working on his comics full time. At the start of the year, he set himself the goal of making $2,000/month by the end of the year. You can read more about it in his goals page: http://www.woohooligan.com/2016/da#.VtBlcdCGPFg He lays it out there better than I could here. Right now, he's asking for help expanding his audience and I see no problem with trying to help out there, especially since I like his comics. Wh

Or at least severely throttled. For the past few weeks I've had trouble getting onto Deviant art. According to Viewdns.info (http://viewdns.info/chinesefirewall/?domain=deviantart.com) , I should be able to access this site. Greatfire.org (https://en.greatfire.org/) and my computers (from several different locations, not just at home) say otherwise. I can get on with my VPN (as I'm doing now) but that's a pain especially since it seems to cut out every 10 mins. This may sound like an odd request considering where I'm making it but is there anyone else around in China who's had similar problems? Or anyone who might know more than me? Edit:
