Ohhh, I'm So Scary, Aren't I?
Here’s another self portrait from my college days. Back when I shaved my head on a regular basis and had a rather sad little fascination with looking scary, and drawing myself looking scary.
That and pizza.
I still have a fascination with pizza, the only difference is that these days I use a knife like the one features in this drawing to cut myself a slice, rather than pose scarily in a dark room.

Normally I would delete one of the comments for you, therefore saving you from looking like a complete dork, but eh…I’d rather just leave them for all to enjoy. ;(

ha… great skills.. shaved head with a bad wig? the knife makes grat floss for those pizza bits…..........b
Steven Novak replied
A knife as floss, huh? Solid idea. Do you think that’s more or less socially acceptable than your finger? ;)
Jan Piller
Hehehe – sick weirdo pizza dude…. who woulda thunk it??? great illustration though Mr. Novak!
Steven Novak replied
Thanks Jan! I did a bunch of self portraits while in college and pretty much all of them seem to look the same. ;)

Fantastic Drawing….The eyes do have a crazed look about them:)
Steven Novak replied
My wife says I have bedroom eyes, and maybe that’s true…if she’s talking about the bedroom of Jeffery Dhamer. ;)
Karin Taylor

Ya, sometimes I go a bit over the top with the whole detail thing. Thankfully I have a lot of patience. ;)
Mui-Ling Teh
So that’s how you look from the front… really amazing detail; notably the eyes and the knife.
Steven Novak replied
Well, actually that’s how I used to look from the front. Now I look pretty much the same…just a bit older. ;)

fabulous work just fabulous …put’s me in mind of the dentist’s
Steven Novak replied
Dentist? If this reminds you of your dentist I think you need to find a new dentist. ;)
Rhana Griffin
This isn’t scary… it’s quite reassuring actually. Steve = Crazed = Mean Eyed = Puppet Carver It’s all good =)
It’s your avatar that frightens the living daylights outta me!!!
Steven Novak replied
The “puppet” is actually an Ernest P. Worrell (remember him) mask. Don’t ask me where I got it, or more importantly WHY I got it, because I have no idea. ;)
Alan Rodmell
Thats one freaky piece of work Steve. Also…very detailed and freaky…..... good work as always
Steven Novak replied
Thanks Alan. Back in the day I was known for freaky. Now it’s mostly cute. I’ve gone soft. ;)

LMAO yeah
Lisa Jewell
The eyes have it…....nah the lot does.
Exceptional….
Steven Novak replied
I think maybe you need to reevaluate your definition of the word “exceptional.” ;) Seriously though, thanks Lisa!
butchart
probably all depends on where that finger has been….............b
