Lochlin Anderson was born in the small town of Litchfield, Minnesota. From a young age he enjoyed playing sports and drawing. At the University of Oregon he majored in both Japanese and Multimedia Arts. Originally only majoring in Art, the draw of exploration and an opportunity to learn more about oneself was to much to pass up. The Japanese degree then led him all the way to Japan where he teaches English and practices his art form to one day become a well-known accomplished artist.
