Almost everyone has fond memories of Etch-A-Sketch, the childhood toy that lets kids (and adults!) draw with knobs that control aluminum powder along an X and Y axis. Ohio Art Company released the first Etch-A-Sketch in 1960, and it has never gone out of style. That’s because the Etch-A-Sketch is an ideal way to while away the hours, procrastinating and creating. Few people produced anything exciting as children, but now there are full-time Etch-A-Sketch artists who have created some incredible art works using this old kids’ favorite.

The time involved in creating these intricate drawings is intense. These 17 sketches will blow your mind, and might even inspire you to dig the old Etch-A-Sketch out of mom and dad’s attic for some quality doodle-time.

All About Bob

Bob Ross would surely approve of this incredible sketch of the PBS master making a painting of tiny trees.

This sketch is based on an old record, 1960’s Hansel & Gretel, which was released by Cricket Records. The drawing perfectly captures the vintage art depicting the classic fairy tale.

Cat Dominance

Cats dominate the internet, so of course they’ve found their way into Etch-A-Sketch art. This fantastic feline is about to end the life of an unsuspecting goldfish.

After making this drawing, it’s not too hard to imagine BoJack Horseman wasting an entire day playing on an Etch-A-Sketch.

Why not transfer one of the most famous works of art to a mini Etch-A-Sketch drawing?
