Opera-tan holiday greetings

Over the holidays, I came across a new Opera-tan artwork by ma31 that I've been meaning to mention but forgot about until recently. Anyhow, you can find it here: http://my.opera.com/ma31/blog/show.dml/1607737

Isn't it nice?

My new Opera-tan poster

Keiki (my colleague in Japan) recently sent me the Opera-tan poster that was displayed at our office in Tokyo during the epic user event we held a few weekends ago. Opera-tan has a special place in my heart, so I am very proud to have the new poster displayed in my office here in San Diego. It's right in front of me, above ManneS's head (while she is visiting San Diego, we're sharing an office). I'm guessing that Opera-fan TERRAZI printed the poster, so thank you! temp_h also created a new image for the event that you can download here: http://my.opera.com/ma31/blog/2007/05/27/how-about-some-opera-tan-cake (If I get a chance, I'll definitely be making a poster out of that one.)

The return of Opera-tan

Monday, November 20, 2006 8:12:31 PM

Last Tuesday, I received a really nice email from ma31 (aka temp_h), the creator of Opera-tan. On his blog, he posted a new Opera-tan image (as a present to me for having joined Opera). I feel really honored, to say the least. Here is a link to his blog post where you can download the image: http://my.opera.com/ma31/blog/2006/11/13/sorry-for-being-late

His work keeps getting better and better yes

Thanks, ma31! I have so much work to do these days, but stuff like this (and Opera fan enthusiasm in general) keeps me smiling.

...now, will someone illustrate Opera-tan's little sister, Operetta (aka Opera Mini)? wink

I've been incredibly busy lately, but I just wanted to welcome ma31, aka temp_h, back to the Opera community. He has created yet another stunning Opera-tan image. I will be updating my blogs with the new banners shortly...
