I'm going to get my nearly-6-year-old to do a picture for every single paragraph of my blog posts from now on.

At least they're real art, and he's way better on the Wacom tablet than I am.

Plus rather than boiling off half a dozen loads of laundry's worth of water and electricity, he'll do an hour or so of them on a glass of apple juice and a cheese and ham roll.

Also, your six year old actually learns stuff when doing this.

If he'd learn how to get the graphics tablet out of the mode where it just draws massive random-sized rainbow colour stars over everything when he's done with it, I'd consider that a bit of a win.

It's given a certain limitation to my art style because I can't figure it out at all.
