The most creative art can come from the most unexpected places -- in this case, a toy. A number of contemporary artists proves that the limitations of an Etch A Sketch can foster incredible, detailed pop art, some of which have been sold for upwards of $10,000 and attracted the attention of U.S. presidents.

As a kid I could barely make a straight line with an Etch-A-Ske­tch. These creations are crazy!

it isnt that i am positive, but i think many of those, especially the obama one, are probably fakes... that sort of gradation(­halftoning­!) and especially the lack of connecting lines between elements in the seal.. It looks totally fake to me.

See I was thinking the exact same thing, but it looks like it is possible to get some good shading effects with the etch-a sketch. Some of those still may be fake though, but I wouldn't be surprised if they were real...peo­ple can do pretty amazing things with a little determinat­ion...and a LOT of time

Yes, some of them were exceptiona­l! There were also a few that shouldn't even be classified in the same catagory, they were just okay; Overall, beautiful!

It's a pretty safe bet every time you see something like this to assume that the Mona Lisa will be in there somewhere.

How do they do this? Is it a normal etch a sketch?

Unbelievab­le. Awesome. Some people are so clever. Wow
