Hey melkathi,

I've got a question for you. It's actually my wife that wants to know...

I was on the computer on night reading posts on our board, when my wife, who was standing behind me for a the moment, spotted your avatar. She believes that it looks familiar.

She a librarian and has read many books, including many books for children to children, over the year. She thinks your avatar might be from a children's book she once read but she cannot place it. At least, not a character with a green hat, an orange cape and a blue lantern. The tag-line did not help her place it either.

IOW - Can you tell us the origin of your avatar and the tag - Just Think Strawberry Pancakes?

Regards,

Michael (Zed) and Duffy (Duffy)

Sig? What sig? I don't see any sig.

I try to not make a habit of posting other people's work without permission, without naming the source and without making it clear that it isn't mine

Sadly your wife did not see this in a children's book.
For one I have yet to be translated into english. More importantly though, I have only published one book so far and it uses a different set of characters.
It is more likely that, if she ever used to browse through a site called Elfwood, she saw this teddy bear there when I was a one of their moderators and still had a number of pages/galleries on that site.
You can have a better look at the picture in my photobucket album:

The baby sketch is the latest of those, dating 2008 :/

The tag "Just think Strawberry Pancakes" comes from a little comic (with teddy bears of course) I had done on the pre-launch/pre-beta forum of another MMO called Earthrise. In it two guards of the Continoma faction (the big company that controls everything) try to project a happy aura when apprehending criminals by thinking happy thought i.e. strawberry pancakes.

These are from 2009

Teddies from 2010 can be found here:

Might as well just add the whole photobucket album

(of course same guest password)
Not that there is much more in it.
And some stuff may be on facebook:
tinyurl.com/4lrj8er
though all info on there is in greek language (that's why I changed the link to a tiny url - the forum wasn't recognizing greek fonts)

And thanks for showing an interest

edit:
Also, why has this thread got views in double digits before I even manage to log on?

Why? Because you are just that awesome! ;D

You may be right. It's not likely that she's seen your work. More likely it reminded her of another teddy bear. Among her favorite things are Teddy bears and Friendly dragons. We have a house full of both. I will definitely have to share these links with her.

You don't mind if I borrow this one for the desk top, do you?

We share the same PC and I change my desktop all of the time to surprise her. It's a little like leaving little love notes for her. Speaking of love notes... Have you considered putting some of your images on greeting cards? Teddy bears, children dressed and acting like adults and pets are always very popular images for greeting cards.

Good luck with your books, BTW. I hope they get translated into EVERY language on earth. That would be awesome.

Sig? What sig? I don't see any sig.
