I thought maybe I should
First off many thanks goes to BUTCHART who officially became the very first person (and who knows, maybe the last) to apparently have a complete and total lack of judgement and plunk down their hard earned money on a piece of my art.
(I think it looks pretty good in card form) Many, many, thanks, and bows, followed by awkward shows of affection which make everyone in the general vicinity quite uncomfortable to BUTCHART You’ll have to let me know how long the shipping time is for someone who lives on the dark side of the moon
Second, a big hearty thank-a-roo (which I think might be a kangaroo that is constantly shaking everyones hands, complimenting them on their clothes, and asking if they would like a drink) to STEVE aka CIMMERRIAN for featuring my ZOMBIE SANTA over at his group HUMOROUS ILLUSTRATIONS all of this week. Not only is Steve a hell of a guy, but he’s got a pretty sweet name to boot. (Not that I’m biased or anything.) Much thanks to Steve.
Lastly a big thanks to the faceless whoever behind the Redbubble Oz curtain for featuring one of my pieces on the ART page. (I’m down on the bottom row). It’s amazing how many views the work got just by being up there, and the comments everyone left were extremely inspiring, despite the fact that I’m not the least bit deserving.
I’ve been a member now for a little less than two weeks and it’s been fun and extremely inspiring at the same time. A big, totally awkward, more than a little bit uncomfortable, make you never want to speak to me again, and possibly call the cops on me to everyone that I’ve met thus far.
Okay, I’m done. Now I need to go down to the basement and check on the girl I’ve got starving to death in the giant hole down there. I need to remind her that IT PUTS THE LOTION IN THE BASKET! IT PUTS THE LOTION IN THE BASKET OR IT GETS WORN AS A COAT! (Congrats to everyone who gets that reference.)

Every piece of praise you receive, every artwork featured and every card/wallart bought is well deserved my friend. I think it is us who should be thanking and offering our hugs to you, because the work you’ve shared is so beautifully charming. Your illustrations are captizating; bursting with life and colour, feelings and emotions. I’m sure there will be a whole bunch of further work sold soon matey, and i look forward to your future works :-)

POP!! That was the sound of my head exploding due to a rapidly expanding ego which is a direct result of this comment! Seriously though, hanks Adam, I really do appreciate it. Now I’m going to send you the cleaning bill for getting the brains out my stucco walls. ;)

I knew having the same name was going to get us into trouble “bad episode of Perfect Strangers” style. ;)

I usually just call him ‘Stevers’ anyway….I can just call you Novak, make things easier!

You still suck Steve… Why? Because once again I nearly peed my pants reading your words. Looks like I need to be putting incontinence pads on my shopping list once again now that I have you back on my radar.
Bastard.
Steven Novak in reply to Rhana Griffin’s comment, 4 months ago
Be honest, you needed to put those on your shopping list anyway. ;)

You seem to attract praise for your work like a lamp attracts moths :)) You deserve it though, but don’t get too big-headed or you’ll be top heavy and unable to steady yourself to draw :))
