This right here.
Maybe Khan truly will be an artist, and this is just an early indication of his creativity.
At the photo processing place I worked at years ago, we had several artists. Some of them, their photos were their art, others, took photos of their work that was on other media.
Some of them were the most fun, quirky (in a good way) people I've ever met, not a hint of pretentiousness about them at all.
One, in particular, was a woman that created art that was similar to those "Wacky Packages" bubble gum and cards I used to get as a kid in the '60's and '70's, that were weird and gross depictions of current products.
My customer also had an Art Car, that I'd frequently see parked around the part of town where I'd live, and I'd always see people admiring it. I'd boast that I knew the Artist! She also dressed kinda funky, and one day walked in carrying a purse, that was a functioning wall-style clock!
Anyway, in regards to the naming toys and such thing; around 20 or 21 years ago, my friends' little girl and I were playing with her Barbies. I think she had just acquired at least some of teem, because she was trying to come up with names, I was trying to.....ummmm....help her.
I think she named one or two, (of course these dolls already had their own names, like "Midge", and "Skipper" and such), but my little friend wanted her own names for them.
When she picked up one and was studying it, I started throwing out names.
Boy's names.
After suggesting each one, my little friend would say "noooooooo!" as if it should be obvious to me that they weren't girl's names.
Finally, I suggested "Oscar".
My little friend sat silently for a moment, studying the doll and stroking its hair, and decided that "Oscar" was the perfect name!
