I just translated the report on the Malaysian BL event that OW attended/sponsored here! There are a few pics and a lot of words (with more to come later XD), and I have just one question: what is satay and how have I never had it before? Cause it looks like it involves meat and coconut-base sauce and that is a recipe for DELICIOUS in my mind.

Various works by Tae (たえ)

Tae is a Japanese artist who often paints portraits of women in her works. Her minimal use of color as well as the movement of shapes and digital brushstrokes across the portraits create a clean, seemingly weightless space within which her characters exist.
