...with an Etch-A-Sketch. If I really work at it. According to Metro.co.uk, this is what Jeff Gagliardi of Boulder, Colorado can do:

And here's a link to Gagliardi's own website. He does offer these for sale -- at a pretty high price, apparently -- so it's not a colossal waste of time, if that's what you're thinking.
Oh, and he somehow makes these "shake proof" -- so that your work of art can't get picked up by Junior and, uh, replaced. ("Yours was nice, Mommy, but look: I made a ducky!") Because that would be one of those parenting acid tests, wouldn't it?

What's wrong with a ducky?
Our artists paint great works on art in pavements here in the UK to raise money, is that something that happens in the States?? I'm amazed by their talent.
I was lucky I could draw a house with an Etch-a-Sketch but I sure had a good time trying! Obviously Amanda did not get her artistic talents from moi!
One of my favorite Peanuts comic strips is from a series where Charlie Brown and Sally are sitting at a desk and Charlie is trying to learn to draw circles with a compass. He's just mucking it up horribly, ink smudges everwhere.
Charlie leaves and Snoopy comes up and draws a perfect square with the compass. Just makes me laugh.
This for some reason reminded me of that.
Etch-A-Sketch takes me back. Not that I could draw, though.
I saw this guy on television...he makes a very good living at this....I think he also dumps out the extra silver stuff in addition to disabling the knobs....that's how it stays in place
I think this is weird. Etch a sketch is meant not to be permanent. ooh forgive the syntax, if I had an etch a sketch I'd just erase it.
this is exactly the reason why i cannot earn extra money. all i can draw is a stick person. and even that looks morbidly scary.
I'm just horribly sad that someone can make a living with etch a sketch...
...
I'm now going to try to duplicate his efforts with lite brite.
You could make a square? I'm jealous!
I saw someone was making a living making needlepoint pillows with celebrity mugshots on them.
people will do anything, I guess!
I could do a square, I think. Or maybe a rectangle. But all in all I found Etch-a-Sketch to be rather frustrating.
