En-Uk's "Singer"
Singer

My ten-year-old son is still continuing his art blog and recently sketched and colored the figure above, titled "Singer," about which En-Uk tells us:
This drawing is called "Singer." I made this drawing because I like singers.Well, I like singers, too, but I've never sketched and colored anything remotely like this, so there must be more going on in En-Uk's mind than I can fathom. I have to agree with commentor CIV:
Wow. This is outstanding. Nice work, En-Uk.En-Uk has blogged on an artwork of his own making daily since beginning his art blog on January 13th, and he's now started another blog: En-Uk's Animal Blog. This one also has some points difficult to fathom, e.g.:
A grown polar bear can hit something very hard -- it is about like a 3 ton piece of metal hitting something.I may have to fathom this one with a grain of slowly dissolving salt . . . though En-Uk does seem to know more about animals than I do.

Imagine if you will - you're standing on an ice flow just north of the Arctic Circle and suddenly you see a pretty big polar bear running full bore toward what is apparently - yourself.
While I'm not certain of En-Uk's grasp of Newton's Laws, were I to imagine myself in the above situation... I think a running polar bear impact would be alot like getting hit by a (metal) bus.
Even just a simple polar bear slap upside the noggin.
That's the problem with Academics - not thinking "outside the box").

I know Cran. It probably shoulda been spelled f l o e but somehow that spelling doesn't seem adequate.
(Think about it).
JK
Sounds like an 'academic' thought experiment to me, JK . . . but I'm pretty sure, anyway, that En-Uk was referring to the blow of a polar bear's mighty paw because he'd been talking about that a lot previously.
Speaking of outside the 'box' . . . where does that parenthetical statement of yours begin? I need to get outside of it somehow.

Well, Uncle Cran might catch that, but I didn't, JK. I reckon that a floe flows.

Jeffery, your son is wasting his talent using Paint. He should be learning something like Adobe Illustrator. A small investment in software and hardware (get him one of those pen and tablet things) and you just might strike it rich when he's a famous artist. (You can sell all his "early days" works on eBay -- no, Christie's ors Sotheby's!)
CIV, I think that Hathor once mentioned the same thing.
I'll ask Sun-Ae to look into this. She's the practical one in our family.

I did notice the floe labeled as a flow, but thought it unworthy of comment. And, as Jeffery noted, a floe flows as it slowly drifts along.
I think the parenthesis belonged before (That's...).
Jeffery can now be freed from his dilemma, and may proceed to deeper thoughts.
I have been worried about you, JK.
It is good to see that you are still exercising your gray matter, (as if it really matters).
Cran
Uncle Cran, I'll let you and JK settle this.

Actually Cran, I did take note of your enthusiastiasm a few days ago when you commented. I considered you succinct enough and so didn't add my two cents.
You are correct about the opening parentheses also. Blogger apparently had a glitch because just prior to "accepting" my comment, it clearly showed.
Actually I do consider "floe" to be more precise. "What" I was imagining I would do, were I to be facing an impending polar bear slap above the Arctic Circle might initially be termnd a flow - but would surely and quickly, become a yellow icicle floe.

JK:
You might be like the lady the rodeo clown told about.
He said he was up in the rodeo stands, and a mouse ran up a lady's dress. She screamed and locked her legs together; and it looked like she squeezed a quart of water out of that poor mouse.
Of course, I can't vouch for the accuracy of the clown's description. They are known to exaggerate for emphasis in their stories.
Cran
Actually, Adobe Illustrator is a pro tool and En-Uk should be consulted before you buy it. It is not easy to pick up, as Paint is. In fact, I had to buy a software course on how to use it. It can do a bazillion things. En-Uk is young and no doubt will pick up things quickly, but it is not a intuitive program. He'll need to commit to learning it.
But once he does, Wow!
CIV, thanks for reminding me of this -- I'd forgotten to inform my wife.

Are you sure this will work?

Works like a charm . . . better, actually.
