Comics and Video Games

Lately Landon has developed a new love, and it's called comics. A while back he decided to design his own comics. It's fantastic! He can literally sit for hours and draw. All he needs is a ream of paper and a box of markers. And I do mean a ream. His stack of comics grows by the day. 

His drawings started with Star Wars. He has since moved on to Super Mario Galaxy. Technically he's no longer drawing comics. A few days ago Chris was talking to him about how video games start out as a bunch of drawings.  He also informed Landon that he used to design video games. Landon now has a plan for the two of them to turn his paper drawings into the next Super Mario Galaxy video game. He has also decided he wants to be a game designer when he grows up. As the saying goes, "like father like son!"

P.S. He just came in to inform me that he is currently working on a level called "Quicksand Uh Oh." I love this boy!

So cute. Reminds me of a couple boys in our house a year or two ago :) We also go through reams of paper!
