September 13, 2007: Artist reproduces great works on an Etch-A-Sketch



A lurker whose name didn't match up with any Cellar userids sent this along via the Mail.

Artist Jeff Gagliardi never had an Etch-A-Sketch as a child. But when he grew up he found that he had a natural talent at drawing with it, and at the Mail story are 11 of his creations, including the world's most known paintings as well as a King of Hearts, a Chuck Berry, a Taj Mahal and perhaps most interesting, a self-portrait.

He first took up his nephew's board when he was a college student at the School of Visual Arts in New York.

"I did a drawing of the Taj Mahal complete with reflecting pools.

"Quite frankly, I didn't think it was a big deal, but my family wouldn't let me erase it," he said.
