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.

All That Was Left of Him Was His Yellow Hat belongs to the following groups:

Art and Stories Made For Children, Cartoon Paddock, Happy Haven, Humour Captured, Nerds Unite, Parallel Dimensions, The Birds and Vibrant and Vivid Color

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 ..

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 :)

I can quite see why you’re pleased with this Steven, a great painting with delightful characters.
BLYTHART, 2 months ago

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.

super doper…reminds me of the mad prof in Tarzan

darkestartist, 2 months ago

fantastic! my only question is it the crabby bird or the dinosaur that gets him? ;)
Jan Piller, 2 months ago

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

Thanks Nicole!
Steven Novak in reply to margpie’s comment, 2 months ago

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. ;)
Steven Novak in reply to Dayonda’s comment, 2 months ago

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

Thank you much Tom!
Steven Novak in reply to jaycee’s comment, 2 months ago

Well, I certainly appreciate that Jaycee!
Steven Novak in reply to AnitaInverarity’s comment, 2 months ago

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. ;)
Steven Novak in reply to MillicentMorrow’s comment, 2 months ago

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

Thanks Brian, I appreciate that.
Steven Novak in reply to BLYTHART’s comment, 2 months ago

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. ;)
Steven Novak in reply to traceyanne’s comment, 2 months ago

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. ;)

Thanks Karin!
Steven Novak in reply to darkestartist’s comment, 2 months ago

The dinosaur gets most of him, the crabby bird gets what is left on the bones. ;)
Steven Novak in reply to Jan Piller’s comment, 2 months ago

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. ;)
Steven Novak in reply to Seth Weaver’s comment, 2 months ago

Much appreciated Seth! I do think I got the characters expressions right on this one, even if the piece has a few technical glitches.
Steven Novak in reply to Di Dowsett’s comment, 2 months ago

WOW! You’re saying i’ve done good work before!? Liar. ;)
Steven Novak in reply to elisab’s comment, 2 months ago

Neat comment. ;)
Steven Novak in reply to pinkyjain’s comment, 2 months ago

Thanks Pinky! The bird and the the dinosaur get the last laugh…aint’ it always the case? ;)

He’s actually surprisingly boring. ;) Thanks Leslie!

BLYTHART, 2 months ago

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, 2 months ago

That guy does look kinda tasty. I hope the dino didn’t eat the bird!!!!!
Tahnja, 2 months ago

lol, oh I love this one Steven!!!!
GloriaDK, 2 months ago

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.
traceyanne, 2 months ago

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…

Steven Novak in reply to Walker Everette’s comment, about 1 month ago

Tasty yes, filling no. I just don’t imagine their being a lot of meat on the old man’s bones. ;)
Steven Novak in reply to Tahnja’s comment, about 1 month ago

Thanks Tahnja!
Steven Novak in reply to GloriaDK’s comment, about 1 month ago

Thanks Gloria! It’s getting harder and harder to maintain the sense of humor though…I am hanging in there…for now. ;)
Steven Novak in reply to Cherie Dirksen’s comment, about 1 month ago

Thanks Cherie, love the compliment! ;)
Steven Novak in reply to Rosemaree’s comment, about 1 month ago

Yep, those darn kids sure do love seeing people get eaten. ;) Thanks Rosemaree!
Steven Novak in reply to Paola Jofre’s comment, about 1 month ago

Thanks Paola! I’ll keep them coming as long as I still have a hand for which to paint with. Maybe even after that…if I can master the whole foot painting thing. ;)

James Lillis, about 1 month ago

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…
