ETCH-ART

CHECK OUT SOME COOL ARTWORK CREATED WITH AN ETCH-A-SKETCH:

In 1989, 30-year-old George Vlosich of Lakewood, Ohio picked up an Etch-a-Sketch for the very first time . . . and spent the next 80 hours etching a picture of the U.S. Capitol building.

Anyway, now George has created his own company, and he's used an Etch-a-Sketch to create portraits of Tiger Woods, The Beatles, Muhammad Ali and . . . most recently . . . Barack Obama, just to name a few. (Daily Mail)

And get this . . . George says each etching takes between 70 and 80 hours to create, and after finishing a piece, he removes the powder from the Etch-a-Sketch in order to preserve the portrait.
