My Good Buddy, Carrot Nose
This is the image I used for both the front and back cover of “Snow Man is my Friend.” It’s simple, but it’s kind of sweet at the same time.
Wait.
Did I just type, “It’s simple but it’s kind of sweet?”
Who am I, Rachel Ray?
This also marks the first drawing of the actual snow man from the book. No doubt some of you were thinking, “Why in the hell did he title a book Snow Man is My Friend if there isn’t a snow man in it?”

nice, i really like the texture in the kid’s hair, the snow…..I did notice that while the snowman has no arms, a twiggish tree sits mocking him in the background….”want some arms? neener neener neener!” ;)
Steven Novak replied
I know…that was mean of me wasn’t it? ;) (You win the award for funniest response to a piece I’ve ever had. WELL DONE!)
Ria Rosa Quinto
No, Carrot Nose is MY buddy. MINE!
ahem Great drawing btw! Love the starkness of it and shading =)
Steven Novak replied
Don’t worry, you can be his friend to. He’s honestly not all that picky about who he calls friends because, well…umm…he’s not alive. ;)
Tracey-Anne Pryke

You are so good at shading. Im glad its not winter anymore though. Im a summer gal. Great drawing.
Steven Novak replied
I don’t have to worry about winters anymore since I moved to California, so I’m pointing and laughing at you in all your coldness. ;)

The hat is sharp isn’t it? Got a very “retro” flare to it. ;)

I wish I had a carrot nose right now… as I am sitting here trying to catch up on things I have missed, hubby is asleep in the beanbag and fouling the air with his sleep farts. You know, the ones you just let rip from deep within your bowel with no constraint or care for propriety because you dont give a hit… you are ASLEEP.
Anyhoo… if I had a carrot nose I wouldnt be dry retching over my keyboard.
Snow man rocks by the way. Pity he turns into mush.
Steven Novak replied
Sleep farts…hehe. ;)
Paul Compton

This is great, but your work always is. I would be more surprised if you ever did anything second rate Steven. Keep up the good work … I know you will :)
Steven Novak replied
I’m gong to make it my goal now to put up something REALLY crappy just so I can see you type the words, “well, this isn’t really that good.” I WILL PROVE YOU WRONG DAVE! ;)
BLYTHART
Even if you could create something crappy, it would be a much more refined and stylish version of crappy than anyone else could create Steven :))
Alyson Pearson
gorgeous

Thanks Alyson!
