World's Greatest Etch-a-Sketch Artist

When i was kid, I had an Etch-a-Sketch. I'll bet you did too.

I was good with straight lines, but lousy with smooth curves, particularly curves that required repetition.

Thus, I made a ton of pictures of tall buildings and such, but very few outside the realm of horizontal/vertical motion.

However, many have mastered the coordinated controlling of the stylus and created some pretty impressive pictures.

But I'm willing to bet that the subject of today's FamilyFirst pick, George Vlosich, is among the greatest Etch-a-Sketch artists in the world.

Check out the video of the five-hour process (greatly sped up) of creating a stunning portrait of NBA star Lebron James.

The thing about an Etch-a-Sketch is that one mistake ruins a picture.

With that, watch what Vlosich is able to accomplish with a child's toy. I predict that you will be astounded.
