oh yeah…you sooooooooooo made a poop joke! hahaha, great work, she’s too cute!

Naylor, 4 months ago

LMAO… It is good luck though Steven to have a seagull poop on you ….. well thats what my Mom told me years ago but ..hmmmmm maybe she just said that to make me stop freekin out… :)
I love the used of shading in your work … She is beautiful but what she doesn’t know is that all these birds are after the hottie on her head hehehehe

Jen Cannella, 4 months ago

Hahaha yes, a poop joke! Those seagulls don’t look like they are going to be nice about it either. Her expression looks like she knows what’s coming!..............This is beautiful, by the way!

Jonicool, 4 months ago

You do amazing work! Love this!

Mariaan Krog, 4 months ago

Great artwork! Could get messy, but I guess when they come so close they have not eaten yet, so it’s OK!

butchart, 4 months ago

she looks like she wouldn’t give a poop if they did poop….........b

Tsipi Levin, 4 months ago

Very nice Steven. by the way, the seagulls look like they’re having fun ;-)

Karin Taylor, 4 months ago

why can’t you favourite more than once, i wanna know!! shouldn’t we, the people decide…once is not enough sometimes :) i love this scene, coz it has everything in it that matters! A jetty, the ocean, sand, sea, clouds, boat and her top and jeans….well, i’d like both in my own wardrobe please…..i notice we have similar taste in apparel (skater girl in jeans and red asian inspired top…hmmm interesting) , as both of these paintings were completed a while ago, neither was influenced by the other…..love it when that happens :)

ElRobbo, 4 months ago

This is a cute scene, Steven!
Once again you’ve skilfully added tremendous detail in an albeit subtle and charming way!
Excellent illustration!

pinkyjain, 4 months ago

Awesome work, very beautiful

Mugsy, 4 months ago

Cute and colourful!

Steven Novak in reply to hahpistuff’s comment, 4 months ago

Thanks Shannon! Lets just pretend that I never made the poop joke though, cool? I mean, I’ve got a reputation to uphold. (Okay, no I don’t.)

Steven Novak in reply to Naylor’s comment, 4 months ago

Good luck to have seagull poop on you? Ummm…it makes total sense for you to have believed that as a kid, but to still be sold on it today? ;) Thanks Celena!

Steven Novak in reply to Jen Cannella’s comment, 4 months ago

Thanks Jen! The gulls do look full of rage…and poop…don’t they?

Steven Novak in reply to Jonicool’s comment, 4 months ago

Thanks! I appreciate that. I happen to like this one myself. (Which is a rarity for me) ;)

hahpistuff, 4 months ago

oh but c’mon…its was a GOOD poop joke ;) gee, maybe you should have tagged it with poop…hahaah

Steven Novak in reply to Mariaan Krog’s comment, 4 months ago

Darn birds, always looking for hand-outs. ;) Thanks Mariaan!

Steven Novak in reply to butchart’s comment, 4 months ago

Someone who doesn’t care if they get pooped on by fifty birds is someone with an incredible amount of self esteem. ;)

Steven Novak in reply to Tsipi Levin’s comment, 4 months ago

The gulls are annoyed by the strange infestation of annoyingly chirpy blue birds. I can’t say that I blame them. ;) Thanks!

butchart, 4 months ago

agreed Steven… you have to love yourself b4 you can spread the love…..........b

Steven Novak in reply to Karin Taylor’s comment, 4 months ago

My knowledge of fashions for hip young girls (despite never being a girl, nor a father to a girl, or having been “young” in quite some time, and never for a single solitary hay having been hip) scared the crap out of me. Maybe an appearance on Project Runway is in my future? ;) thanks again Karin!

Steven Novak in reply to ElRobbo’s comment, 4 months ago

Thanks Robbo! I’ve actually been told many times, by many editors that it would be helpful for my career to tone down the detail a bit, but I’m gonna be honest with you, for me, that’s tough to do. ;)

Steven Novak in reply to pinkyjain’s comment, 4 months ago

Thanks Pinky! Glad you liked it.

Steven Novak in reply to Mugsy’s comment, 4 months ago

It’s strange that someone who is anything but cute or colorful could pull it off. ;) Thanks Mugsy!

traceyanne, 4 months ago

stunning work steven I bow before you

Jan Landers, 4 months ago

this is incredible…poop or not… :-) i love your style, steven….

ZuzanaD, 4 months ago

this is SOOOOOOO cute!!

Paul Compton, 4 months ago

There’s always call for a poop joke Steven. Great picture. Completely lovable.

Steven Novak in reply to traceyanne’s comment, 4 months ago

No, no, no, don’t bow. The floors are dirty, here, let me wipe them. Okay, now bow. ;) In all seriousness though, thanks!

Steven Novak in reply to Jan Landers’s comment, 4 months ago

Thank you much Jan, though you can be honest, the poop joke was lame. It won’t hurt my feelings…much. ;)

Steven Novak in reply to ZuzanaD’s comment, 4 months ago

Thank YOUUUUUUU!!

Steven Novak in reply to Paul Compton’s comment, 4 months ago

Much appreciated Paul. ALWAYS call for a poop joke, though? Really? Even at a funeral? I’ll have to test this theory of yours. ;)

traceyanne, 4 months ago

God i’ve got dirt on my knees …......Your welcome Steven

margaretfraser, 4 months ago

I love this it is such a lovely happy scene so beautifully done love the birds too

Steven Novak in reply to margaretfraser’s comment, 4 months ago

Thank you Margaret! Who would have thought that someone who was born with an eternal frown on their face could make something so happy? Not my mother, “Steven, you should smile more.” ;)

It’s been so long since I’ve been at redbubble, I don’t recall if I ever responded to your bubblemail. If I didn’t I apologize. Been hectic lately.

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

Thank you very much. Glad you stopped by.

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

Getting pooped on isn’t high on your list of things to do, huh? ;) My wife likes to pretend that this one is based on her also. I tell her that it isn’t and she ignores me and claims that it is. ;)

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

Thanks!
