If you love MJ and kid’s toys, then you’re certain to love this great Etch-A-Sketch artwork of him created by artist George Vlosich III. It took over 150 hours to complete. Now that’s some dedicated etching. He also has some great ones of the president and other celebrities on his site.

Etch-A-Sketch President

Posted by Queuebot in Arts & Crafts on January 27, 2009 at 7:51 pm

George Vlosich is an artist from Ohio and he recently sketched a portrait of the recently sworn-in American President, Barack Obama. So whats so neat about that ?
For starters he didn't use any paper or pencil, but used just two dials on his "Etch-A-Sketch" to create this portrait. This task took him 80 hours to complete but the result was worth the effort.
Vlosich's magic with Etch-A-Sketch was revealed in his family trip to DC in 1989.

Vlosich said: 'I've been drawing since I was two years old, but the real magic on the Etch A Sketch started in 1989 on our family trip to Washington D.C.

'Before we left, we stopped over my grandparents' house to say goodbye. My mom pulled out her old 1960's Etch A Sketch so my brother and I would have something to play with in the car. I etched a picture of the U.S. Capitol. 'When I was finished, my mom and dad were amazed! My dad saw it and immediately stopped at a gas station to take a picture of my creation before I erased it.

Virtual Etch-a-Sketch

Posted by Stacy in Blog & Internet on January 25, 2009 at 8:54 pm

I was never any good at the real Etch-a-Sketch, and I’m certainly not any better at the virtual version. This picture to the left was done on a real Etch-a-Sketch (you can see more on the Ohio Art site), but maybe you’ll do just as well online. Let us know how you fare!
