日本語では「斉藤英樹」と書きます。

米国の某所でゲーム関係の会社に務めています。（絵描きではありません＾＾）技術系です。

本業以外にSakura-ConというコンベンションでJapanese Guest Managerという肩書きでスタッフをやっています。

昔から画力はあまりありません。（子供の時絵画教室とかには通ってたのに、なぜだろう……。）最近楽しみのために形式などにとらわれず、自由に描いて楽しめれば、と始めました。恐らくかなりお叱りを受けるようなシロモノだとは思いますが、寛大な心で見てやってくださいませ。どちらかというと3D屋です。（こちらでも画力のなさがにじみ出てくるわけですが。）

最近13年ぶりにほぼ完全Linux化したので、イラストスタジオなどを仮想環境で動かすか、WINEで動かすかを模索中。（Kritaという結構強力なのも出てきましたしね。）

Works in the video game industry (not an artist, however) Previously had my Pixiv setting to be "Creator" but I just don't like the way that sounds. I'm technical, IT inclined, some business, sales, financial affairs, so I guess I can call myself "other" for the sake of the choice... (Where's a "wearing multiple hats" choice?)

Other than my main line of work, I am Japanese Guest Manager at Sakura-Con, an anime convention.

I wouldn't say that I am skilled in the arts (somehow, years in art classes in my childhood really didn't help out) though, I do enjoy the process. Perhaps output is somewhat ridiculous at the best, but hopefully you'll find the ones you enjoy... I'm somewhat more 3D guy than 2D. (Though, lack of artistic skill is haunting me there, too.)

After 13 years, now I'm pretty much Linux exclusive again. Not sure what to do for graphic environment -- whether I would run softwares like Illust-studio on WINE. (Looking at Krita, too.)
