Henry’s Sinister Six – Doc Ock

My five-year-old son, Henry, loves Spider-Man. Well, to be fair he pretty much loves all things superhero, but Spider-Man holds a special place in his heart.

So last week I let him check out a DVD of a recent animated Spidey kids show, Spectacular Spider-Man, and he get really into the episode where Peter fights the Sinister Six, which, in this incarnation, includes Doc Ock, Rhino, Shocker, Vulture, Electro and Sandman:

After watching the episode twice in a row for his daily TV time, he got to work at his art desk drawing pics of each villain. When he was done he gave them all to me and said I could put them on my blog.

Who could resist?!

So this week I'm featuring the boy's handiwork with a new villain each day. First up? Doc Ock:

The Mrs. and I are just back from a much needed weekend sans children (thanks grandpa & grandma!) in Galena, IL.

Apparently a lot of grease used to be made in Galena…

…and this guy was the man! (You'd think he'd be happier about it.)

Kids Art

We just finished some family cartoon time (AKA Daddy has a tight deadline and needs the kids occupied so he can work time), and I promised the wee ones I’d post their art on my blog.

Bonnie (2 years old) worked on this one for a good hour and 15 minutes:

And Henry (5 years old) drew three Batman themed comics:

My favorite part of the whole experience? Henry just came in as I was writing this and said “Hey Dad, has anyone bought mine yet?”

That’s my boy!
