I found this guy named Kyle Fleming on Instagram who has been a professional Etch-A-Sketch artist for over 10 years. If he didn't post the time-lapse videos of him creating it, I would think it was fake. Instead of using straight lines to do the shading, he often creates a grey scale by etching impossibly small, intricate squiggles. Zoom in on some of these pictures to fully appreciate them.

    It takes a fine eye and high IQ to be able to see and calculate this and execute it on an Etch A Sketch. Holy §#it!

    Sorry Victor this piece has been sold. I would be happy to sell you a signed print, or take on a commission for another Spock image. You can message me through my website or Instagram account. Both are linked at the top of the page. Thanks!

    Hi Analyn. Let's just say I have a knack for it. All knacks aside, at the end of the day, it really comes down to practice, practice, practice.

    While I've grown to share your views on the subject matter; I still like to showcase this image as a starting point for conversations on communism. I don't see it as a waste of time, because there is a lot of talking that revolves around this one, like your comment for instance.

    I wasn't trying to glorify socialism with this image, I just wanted to find a super iconic portrait that would work with the style of shading I had in mind. I understand that a lot of people will identify Che with Communism, and rightly so; but if you have a huge problem with Communism, you should start by checking the "made in" tag on your computer, smart-phone, clothes, shoes, appliances, etc... and ask yourself why you're supporting it through personal funding.

    So much I even bore myself. I've estimated that there is as much as a quarter mile of line in a piece this size.

    I'm no My Little Pony fan, but technically, as far as detail and precision are concerned I've always thought this was one of the best Etches I've ever made.

    And I see the artist speaks! You are amazing at what you do, and you put in so much detail and precision! I aspire to put in as much effort as you, that is if it takes you much effort at all!!

    I used to listen to his stand-up on my mother's record player. I heard it so much, I had it memorized and told dirty jokes at show and tell in kindergarten. ...I got kicked out of class! LOL!
