Don't Ask, Because I Don't Have an Answer by Steven Novak

Don't Ask, Because I Don't Have an Answer

Another older piece.

Don’t ask me what it’s supposed to mean, because I don’t have anything resembling an answer.

While uploading some of my older work recently I noticed that a lot of the stuff I made during my “marker-crazy” period makes very little sense. Do you think it has something to do with the marker fumes?

Don't Ask, Because I Don't Have an Answer belongs to the following groups:

Art and Stories Made For Children, Happy Haven and Toys and Puppets

Cool creatures. Is that you when you were younger. Superb artwork.
Brian Towers, 3 months ago

I’ve always thought that markers were underrated and underused by artists and illustrators – you’re showing us just how effective they can be with this piece Steven.
Jen Cannella, 3 months ago

Awwww, yes, the fuuuuuuuumes…sorry I’ll put the cap back on my marker! Great work…non-sense is good!
CATNIPMEOW, 3 months ago

OKAY so now I see YOU must have had extra “sugar” in that coffee and NO I am not talking splenda
ha ha or maybe the markers were made in China and had an extra kick like those aqua dots -
CATNIPMEOW, 3 months ago

p.s. his expression is priceless :)

Great art-work Steven-very cool.
Jan Piller, 3 months ago

Well he certainly looks a little stoned on marker fumes – also – it’s raining cats and dogs.. well dogs anyway. So if you can’t explain yourself then I guess we’ll just have to put it down to marker fumes… pot is way better though.
Chanel2, 3 months ago

If marker fumes makes you do cool drawings like this…I gotta go and buy me some markers :))
Tahnja, 3 months ago

marker fumes? rofl,, maybe??? I think this is awesome! Love those gerbel looking things lol!!!!
BLYTHART, 3 months ago

He looks bewildered, so I guess he doesn’t know what it means either :)) Everything you upload is a pleasure to behold.

awesome steven….you totally rock
Karin Taylor, 3 months ago

hahaa…possibly Steven, possibly!!
I know what fixative does to my brain :D
great artwork, even if it doesn’t have any meaning, a lot of my stuff has no meaning either!
butchart, 3 months ago

i think it probably has more to do with your inner child being in control…. and don’t ask me what that means because i really don’t have a clue…........b

Thanks mate! (See, I told you it would come off lame) ;)
Steven Novak in reply to RavenSoul’s comment, 3 months ago

Thanks Vonne, and yes…we’ll just stick with unique because unique is better than crummy which is our only other option to describe this. ;)
jewelskings, 3 months ago

I like this one ! Maybe try the fruit smelling markers and see what you come up with! I would love to create something like this but to much marker fumes gives me a headache!
Steven Novak in reply to CDrewHughes’s comment, 3 months ago

Ya! Exactly! Up with nonsense! Down with everything else! We’ll start a revolution! ;)
Steven Novak in reply to Cimmerrian’s comment, 3 months ago

Luckily I have very little left to kill. ;) Thanks Steve!
Steven Novak in reply to Di Dowsett’s comment, 3 months ago

Thanks!
Steven Novak in reply to cheetaah’s comment, 3 months ago

Technically “those days” were only in college. But by “those days” you could have also meant, when I was hopped up on marker sniff, in which case, yes…it is amazing. ;)
Steven Novak in reply to dimarie’s comment, 3 months ago

If great people didn’t have to make sense I would be mother Theresa. ;) Thanks!
Steven Novak in reply to Rajee’s comment, 3 months ago

Not me, no. I didn’t have quite as many freckles. ;)
Steven Novak in reply to Brian Towers’s comment, 3 months ago

I appreciate that Brian, thanks!
Steven Novak in reply to Jen Cannella’s comment, 3 months ago

Pass that maker this way. Don’t be a marker hog. ;)
Steven Novak in reply to CATNIPMEOW’s comment, 3 months ago

Ohhhh, so you must mean sweet and low then. Gotcha. ;)
Steven Novak in reply to Renate Dartois’s comment, 3 months ago

Thanks Renate!
Steven Novak in reply to Jan Piller’s comment, 3 months ago

You just haven’t been sniffing the right markers. ;) Thanks Jan!
Steven Novak in reply to Chanel2’s comment, 3 months ago

You don’t need to buy them, just hang out in the school supplies aisle at your local Wal-Mart. ;)
Steven Novak in reply to Tahnja’s comment, 3 months ago

“Gerbal looking things” is as good an explanation as to what they are as any I could come up with. Nicely done. ;)
Steven Novak in reply to BLYTHART’s comment, 3 months ago

Much appreciated Dave. The feeling is mutual.
Steven Novak in reply to Shannon Rene' Justice’s comment, 3 months ago

Do I? Really? How hard? Do I rock Motely Crue hard, or the Nelson twins hard? ;)
Steven Novak in reply to Karin Taylor’s comment, 3 months ago

Fixative….ohhhh yaaa…don’t even get me started on fixative. ;)
Steven Novak in reply to butchart’s comment, 3 months ago

So we’re in the same boat then. Good to know that I’m not alone. ;)
Steven Novak in reply to jewelskings’s comment, 3 months ago

Fruit smelling markers, ya…good idea. Wait, no…I don’t want to go down that road again. In fact, I think I need to give my sponsor a call. ;)

Neat little fellow in the image. He looks like he is having fun, whether it is marker fumes or not, he seeems happy.
Melanie Atkins, 3 months ago

great art you have:> well done
Shannon Rene' ..., 3 months ago

Um…..Is that a question I should answer? LOL ;)
samedog, 3 months ago

Mmmmmmm, marker fumes…..
RMonroe, 3 months ago

He’s adorable:)
clarkey, 3 months ago

It doesn’t have to make sense, Steve. It’s cute all in its own right. I love the wide-eyed surprised look on Junior’s face and the creature on his right hiding his face, maybe to hide the laughter? At what, I wouldn’t dare to venture a guess! Love the bright colours and the wormhole behind.
traceyanne, 3 months ago

lol! I think he may be your inner self…the eye’s say it all…..perfect creation
JayMartin, 3 months ago

great illustration, good style, maybe it’s you as a kid
Steven Novak in reply to Lee Kerr’s comment, 2 months ago

That’s as good an explanation as I have. ;)
Steven Novak in reply to elisab’s comment, 2 months ago

So your point is, enjoy happiness even if it’s drug enduced? ;)
Steven Novak in reply to Melanie Atkins’s comment, 2 months ago

Thanks Melanie!
Steven Novak in reply to samedog’s comment, 2 months ago

The pink ones smell the best. ;)
Steven Novak in reply to RMonroe’s comment, 2 months ago

Thanks Robin!
Steven Novak in reply to clarkey’s comment, 2 months ago

If things really don’t have to make any sense to be good, then suddenly my life seems to have meaning! ;) Thanks Clarkey!
Steven Novak in reply to traceyanne’s comment, 2 months ago

Are you saying that my eyes look like that? ;)
Steven Novak in reply to JayMartin’s comment, 2 months ago

Thanks Jay! Maybe it is me. I don’t recall traveling through any weird green time tunnels in my youth, but you never know. ;)
traceyanne, 2 months ago

lol! only you can answer that one
