Amazing pics of artwork using the retro toy Etch A Sketch. Who remembers this fun toy? George Vlosich from Ohio has been doodling since age 10 and look at his sketches now .... producing amazingly detailed lifelike portraits of people we know. Some take over 100 hours to draw, using the 2 dials on Etch A Sketch, all using 1 unbroken line.
