    Hang in There, Kogasa-san 2542

    I really want to show a photo of Sanae-san's work here too, but naturally, she'd get mad at me!

    The gold foil was outrageously thin and felt like it would blow away at the slightest breath, which is what made it difficult.

    Now I am extremely curious about SanaeWife's work. Why would she get mad at him?

    She has a strict "No photos, please" rule. No one on the Internet knows what she looks like. And the people who do won't take pictures of her as a courtesy.

    I do know what she looks like.

    Well... You got me there. I'm curious, too, since I thought he meant a picture of her working the gold leaf.

    Think you misread my post then, because I am sure I wrote "her work" and not "she and her work" :V :V

    And it is kind of logical that if you consider Japanese people, you don't take photos of them without asking for permission, let alone upload them.

    But it's not HER pic....it's HER ART pic~

    From what I've seen, Sanaewife isn't too keen on Kogasauthor's fans finding out her penname either, and if he posts a photo of her artwork it'd make it that much easier to figure out. Just a guess though.

    I'd wager that's the reason why. Art styles can be distinctive enough that you can probably guess an artist just from a small thumbnail.

    It's more likely that Kogasa-Author and Sanae-Wife are very good at it despite being supposedly first-timers, to the point that even the clerk is surprised about it.
