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

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.)
Naylor

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
Steven Novak replied

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!
Jen Cannella

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!
Steven Novak replied

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

You do amazing work! Love this!
Steven Novak replied

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 :)
Steven Novak replied

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!
ElRobbo

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

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. ;)
pinkyjain

Awesome work, very beautiful
Steven Novak replied

Thanks Pinky! Glad you liked it.
Mugsy

Cute and colourful!
Steven Novak replied

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

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

agreed Steven… you have to love yourself b4 you can spread the love…..........b
Tracey-Anne Pryke

stunning work steven I bow before you
Steven Novak replied

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

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

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

this is SOOOOOOO cute!!
Steven Novak replied

Thank YOUUUUUUU!!
Paul Compton

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

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

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

Steven Novak replied

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.” ;)

CDrewHughes

Great characters, especially love the eyes, on the birds and the girl! My name is North American Indian for bird, so I’m pretending she’s me =) but I dont want to get pooped on…......
Steven Novak replied

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. ;)

Tahnja

have missed your sense of humour around here. love the look on her face….love the colours again and the great story this tells
Steven Novak replied

Thanks Tahnja! Though the enjoyment that can be had by my sense of humor is debatable. ;)
BLYTHART

I know I have already commented on this, but I just thought you’d like to know that it still looks as fresh as when I first saw it. This has to be the cutest picture you’ve done and the hat on the bird is a delightful touch that enhances the image. I’m starting to think you really can’t put a foot wrong as an artist Steve. Keep painting my friend … you are GOOD … well, okay, let’s not get personal … your PAINTINGS are good :))
Steven Novak replied

Much appreciated Dave, and the feeling is mutual.
Mike Paget

Ha ha – love this picture!
Aimelle

I like your work ! awesome !
Carol-Anne Kozik

This is really great – and there is nothing wrong with poop jokes – kids for generations past (and to come) have been transfixed with this humour…......
