The Walrus -- King of the Arctic by Miles Vernon

The legendary walrus is a majestic and graceful creature yet fierce with the heart of a lion. He glides gently through the frigid ocean, swirling as he propels deeper into the darkness. He is a king, a noble leader and of course a protector of the Arctic. He rules with an iron fist, perched upon his iceberg and wields no mercy for non-welcome enemies who invade his palace of ice. No rival dare disturb him for they no one look from his piercing eyes and that is their end. He has no need for stelth, sneak or ambush for he fights with raw power and tactics using agility and his thrashing tusks that rip through flesh. He has no need to brag or feel jealous for he is the noble and humble king. His thick blubber keeps him warm in the icy sleet, and his shaggy hazel colored coat makes him bold in the whiteness of the blizzard. He is a friend of the sea and of the humans. He is powerful but modest, brave but generous, and kind but realistic. He is gentle but to the point, educated but thoughtful, and valorous but caring. He is a role model for many religions, societies and life forms. Wouldn't life be easier if we all praised the Walrus?

Adventures of comics and concept art (ANGRY BIRDS)

Thanks for stopping by A Kid's Pencil





This month's look is at





ANGRY BIRDS






  • For the people not informed, angry birds is a app on iphone, ipad or ipod touch. The story tells of a group of very protective birds whose eggs get stolen by the greedy green pigs. The location is in grasslands where the motherly sweet kind birds care for their eggs by keeping them warm with straw and tinder. While the birds are beating up a butterfly that they feel could harm their eggs the pigs sneak up behind them with stealth and ambush the eggs. At first you feel bad for the birds when the pigs start to cook their eggs in a frying pan with dripping tongues and smirking faces, but soon you realize the pigs mested with the wrong ANGRY BIRDS. Play over hundreds of levels to become victorious and get the eggs back. Test your aim and use the sling shot to launch the birds into the battle field and hit the pigs and their elaborate castles and manors made of stone, glass, and wood. Dont let these cute little birds fool you, under those fluffy little red feathers a beast if waiting to be unleashed.
