This post is to ward off any and all Michael J. Fox jokes...

And the boobs always came out squared.

Ever since Ohio Art sued Web-A-Sketch off the internet, I have been boycotting them. BOO, HISS...

Either those are fake or you didn't do them. I refuse to believe that any farker could be that talented. I consider it huge victory if I can draw a smooth curve.

Either that or he doesn't have a big sister who gets ticked off when you start to actually draw something on an etch-a-sketch and grabs it away to shake it.

Lloyd Braun That's photoshopped. I can tell.

Disregarding GacysBasement's post and following CravenMorehead's lead:

What I don't get about the whole crazy etch a sketch art: how did they not draw lines in some places?

Maybe I remember my childhood differently, but I remember any time you turned the knobs, it drew...so point being: I'm looking at some of the linework in some of the complicated drawings, and the lines start and stop. How did they do this?

What's cooler than an Etch A Sketch®?

Only one thing I can think of. A wall-mounted, wide-screen Etch A Sketch®.

Not fake. Just GIS "etch a sketch art"

So, a button needs to be added, to toggle between stylus drawing and not drawing.

"I'm going to go draw boobs on the etch-a-sketch!"

"Go ahead. They always come out square."

There are no lines that start and stop. That the beauty of these pictures, realizing that every line is connected. Look at this one for example: Link (new window)

Half the fun of looking at these pictures is picking part of the picture and tracing the lines to see how it carefully connects to other parts.

Oh good, this reminds me.

Natalia, I still have the Etch-A-Sketch I borrowed from you in high school, and would like to give it back.

Can I play with you now? Playing with people's ashes isn't my thing.

If you are really careful you can retrace your original line and it makes it look like you just stopped in mid draw. I used to do it all the time.

JohnAnnArbor

Well done!

Wait, so the Etch-A-Sketch contains aluminum powder?

This is relevant to my interests. Now to find some rust...

I'm guessing there are cheaper sources for thermite supplies.

Had an incredibly hot young girl that used to come over and draw cool shiat on my tiny etch-a-sketch...did a damn fine $20 bill once, I recall...so I'm getting a kick out of remembering what she looked like.

She should have done a self-portrait for you.

50 is all? This after noting that I've been around longer than the DQ Blizzard. I feel old today.

The Blizzard is only 25 years old...STFU


/it only gets worse from now on..

Namahs: There are no lines that start and stop. That the beauty of these pictures, realizing that every line is connected.

I'm looking at this Taj Mahal. Notice the two pillars at the extreme of the wall running horizontal in the image...in the relative foreground of the Taj Mahal. Look at the right hand side of the pillars. Notice in some areas, the right edge is composed of a vertical line that starts and stops. That or I just can't see close enough. But it definitely looks like it starts and stops in this image:



/damnit image is half the size in post preview...you're going to claim it is connected but I just can't see it.

Anyways here is a link to the fullsize image:

Great! Let me just go get my scarves and edible lube and I'll be right over...

Again I post...If you look really closely there is nothing being retraced: I understand the "stopping mid draw", and reversing over your own line. I was 6 once. I owned an etch a sketch.

I'm asking about a line segment. There is nothing to retrace over to.

I'm sure you're right. I just can't see it. I think what is happening is I'm deceived by the line weight of the heavier lines that have been retraced. If I had an etch a sketch in front of me, and I could see how "faint" of a line you could draw, I'd not have posted. It's been a while.

I do have an etch-a-sketch in front of me, and I can tell you. The first line is faint; after subsequent passes, however, the line get's darker. If that's what you mean.

damn you subby, Now I have bad medicine stuck in my head

I thought you could push down on the control knobs and that would move the stylus away from the screen.
