Now older and wiser and sensitive to issues of copyright, both moral and legal, I am embarrassed to have kept someone else's drawing on my blog representing me for so long. It is a beautiful image, one that really captures Pippi Longstocking's personality. I don't know who created that computer image of Pippi that I have been using, but I want to offer them a public apology.
I am sorry that I used your art without your permission and without giving you credit. I still don't know who you are so I am unable to correct the latter, but I can stop using the image. As a fellow artist, I should have known better.

Excellent question: for someone who can create images as gorgeous as yours, surely nothing else would be as good a representation. I love this new one. I love the muscles in her forearms.
I think it comes down to lack of confidence. It is hard to feel 'good enough'.
I am glad you like her :).
I think we all do things that later we wonder, "why did I do that?" The neat thing is when we wake up and do something that feels better to us, just like you've done here.
I think it's lovely that you've tossed an apology out into the universe. And I think it speaks to your integrity personally and to what we are all capable of, in may different situations.
Thanks for sharing this with us. We can now feel less alone in thinking of those things we've done and regret and you offer us the opportunity to do something different!
And feel good about what you've done now, not bad about what you've done in the past!
And your painting is beautiful!

ZenDot (i love the way that sounds), thank you. I love the last sentence of what you wrote: "And feel good about what you have done now, not bad about what you've done in the past."
That is beautiful.
Thanks Amy, I am touched.

Zom, I am so glad that I commented on Rice's blog the other day and that you came to look at mine. Just spending a few minutes here has been a delight and I see something very deep and special in what you share. I plan to follow (and do some looking back when I find a little time.)
