Etch-a-Sketch Art


Created by a guy called George. The art takes up to 70 hours to create on a bog standard etch-a-sketch that we all had when we were children!

I appreciate this art because if a mistake is made you cant simply rub it out... it has to be completely erased and you have to start again. Also, by having up and down cursors, to make a diagonal line both knobs must be turned at the same time, meaning great co-ordination is needed.

George concentrates on stars in America so his works are mainly portraiture. The detailing is amazing and he creates proportions accurately.

I saw this kinda thing on youtube, have you checked it out on there. To be honest i question how much of it is real when i think back to how er good i was on my etc a sketch... The guy i found on youtube is Goerge to so probably the same guy, if you go on to youtube and type in NBA final Lebron Etch a sketch or just etch a sketch it will come up. Im sure it can be done but its still questionable.
