Flickr Find: Mac and PC on an Etch A Sketch

The internet is full of wonder things, and this is one of them. Flickr user etchasketchist likes to spend his time making intricate drawings on a travel Etch A Sketch. Above you can see his latest work, Apple's favorite advertising duo in the... gray and silver.

Thought #1: That is cool.
Thought #2: What a colossal waste of time.

Imagine if he could animate one of the adverts on an Etch A Sketch. That would be impressive.

As opposed to how unimpressive it currently is. Seriously though, has anyone else ever managed anything remotely close to this on a Etch-a-Sketch themselves? All I could ever make was a bunch of terrible looking crap. Got old after about 5 minutes.

I call FAKE! This is a travel Etch-a-Sketch -- those things are about the size of a miniDV tape. Way too small to make such a detailed drawing.

Yo Devin, I wouldn't be tossing around accusations like that unless you're prepared to have an Etch-a-sketch battle.
Everyone can see the rest of my work at my blog:

I call IDIOT! A travel Etch-A-Sketch has a usuable drawing surface that is exactly 4.5'' x 3.25''. I know because I just measured mine myself. You are officially challenged to an Etch-a-Sketch battle.

What, PC & Mac? Looks more like Hiro Nakamura & Peter Petrelli from Heroes

woah woah woah now. Look carefully and you'll see i never said you didn't do that work. there was no accusation. i didn't in any way mean to slander your work, and i'm sorry if you took it that way.
i was just being a skeptic
