All That Was Left of Him Was His Yellow Hat

Sure, the bird was interesting, but he really should have paid more attention to what was coming up behind him. Unfortunately for Willie “The Birdman” Whiters, it would be the last mistake he would ever make.

I just finished this one up last night. Overall, I’m fairly pleased with it.

    how fabulous !!

    great work .. and i think this image (and your words beside) are a true metaphor for life .. being one tracked in vision .. that sort of thing ..

  • Steven Novak replied

    Thanks Nicole!

  • margpie

    he he, love it, the bird seems to be quite aware what is going on, I can see why you are pleased with it…double FAB for this one :)

  • Steven Novak replied

    The bird is a private sort of guy – hates being watched. He doesn’t necessarily WANT the old guy to be eaten, but he isn’t too upset about it either. ;)

    It’s a really good one, and you should be pleased with it!

  • Steven Novak replied

    Thanks Dayonda! Though, I’m starting to see flaws in it now the more and more I look at it…sigh. ;)

    Steven- this is great. I love the grumpy seagull too x

  • Steven Novak replied

    Thanks! Wouldn’t you be grumpy if some old man was watching you through a pair of binoculars constantly? Of course. You would also call the police. ;)

    You are soooooo clever! It’s wonderful.

  • Steven Novak replied

    Thanks! Though you have grossly over-estimated my cleverness. ;)

    I can quite see why you’re pleased with this Steven, a great painting with delightful characters.

  • Steven Novak replied

    Thanks Brian, I appreciate that.

    You certainly should be pleased with this Steven. It displays your artistic talents wonderfully … and also your sense of humour, which adds so much to your work. The bird looks as though he is trying to decide whether or not to alert the man to the danger behind him. With the right publicity you could be BIG … and I mean that.

  • Steven Novak replied

    Thanks Dave! Plus, I’m already “BIG.” Bigger than I should be in fact. Working in front of a desk day in and day out will do that to you. ;)

    super doper…reminds me of the mad prof in Tarzan

  • Steven Novak replied

    You know that you’re actually the second person to tell me that. I have no idea who the mad professor from Tazarn is though. ;)

    fantastic! my only question is it the crabby bird or the dinosaur that gets him? ;)

  • Steven Novak replied

    The dinosaur gets most of him, the crabby bird gets what is left on the bones. ;)

  • Jan Piller

    Jan Piller

    Wonderful – my goodness Steven – you have sooo much talent!! The look on the bird’s face is priceless! hahahaha

  • Steven Novak replied

    Thanks Jan! The bird is sick of the old guy, doesn’t understand the point of what he’s doing…won’t be sad to see him go. ;)

  • Seth  Weaver

    You have a gift for creating great expressions and emotions in your characters. Excellent work so much fun to look at. Great graphic storyteller!

  • Steven Novak replied

    Much appreciated Seth! I do think I got the characters expressions right on this one, even if the piece has a few technical glitches.

    I won’t criticise you for being “big” as I suffer from expanding stomach syndrome myself; otherwise known as overeating :) I still think you could be big in a more constructive way though …. as an illustrator.

  • Walker Everette

    Walker Everette

    That guy does look kinda tasty. I hope the dino didn’t eat the bird!!!!!

  • Steven Novak replied

    Tasty yes, filling no. I just don’t imagine their being a lot of meat on the old man’s bones. ;)

    Steven this has made my day, the guy looks as though he is aware of the extra heavy hand on his shoulder, wondering ‘what is that?” you have a sense of humour which is good in this day and age.

  • Steven Novak replied

    Thanks Gloria! It’s getting harder and harder to maintain the sense of humor though…I am hanging in there…for now. ;)

  • Tracey-Anne Pryke

    Prof Porter…janes father…he is alway’s out there looking for something that no-one has found before and getting into trouble….just goes to prove great minds do think alike…

    Great artwork! That is the most serious looking seagull I have seen. Or is it an albatross? It’s a serious bird. My daughter likes this one too…

  • Steven Novak replied
