Now this kid is awesome
What did you do where you were six? I have vivid recollections of Calvin and Hobbes, drawing and running around a lot. I'm sure a number of others my age have similar memories. Thomas is six, albeit right now and not in 1989. He is also officially a bigger internet celebrity than I, since he's been BoingBoing'd, and I have not.
The Adventures of Art Lad is his site, managed by his dad. His posts center around his artwork.

I think this kid is both tremendously cool, and totally avant-gards. The youth of tomorrow, they'll be better connected by the time they finish elementary than we'll ever be today. ¶ 6:28 p.m.
I start the first grade soon! I really liked my teacher last time because she did art class and always put my pictures up on her desk. My favorite part was when we did squirt painting. You had stencils and you could squirt different colors on them. Guess what happens when you pull the stencil off? You get a picture!
But the stencils were all flowers and puppies.
NO DINOSAURS!
"Where are the dinosaur stencils?" I asked Mrs. Dodd. "They don't make them," she said.
So I made one.
