The Toy Chest in Ridgefield, CT


(Click to enlarge)

Sketched this for Ann, the owner of this small toy shop in downtown Ridgefield, Connecticut. It's an old fashioned place in an old fashioned part of town, which I think makes for a nice etch. Happy Holidays! Thanks for checking out my Etch A Sketch art! Visit again soon for something new or check out my other pages online for things that might not appear here...

Facebook Follower Upgraded Etch


(Click to enlarge)

A while back, on facebook, I did some 5-minute practice speed-etchings of people who sent me a picture. I noticed one floating around recently, still used as a profile image. I'm really glad to see the quick work being enjoyed, but I think Joe Gleason deserves a better one and not a rushed effort. Here's an upgraded etch for Joe!

If you want to maybe get etched sometime, follow me on facebook.

Times Square (work in progress)


(Click to enlarge)

I've been working on times square for half a year. I had to erase my first version after posting an earlier work in progress because I needed an etch and didn't have access to any others, so it was erased. I tried a second time and the spacing isn't right, I still have it, but I started again. I wasn't ever happy with how it was turning out, so I shook it and started again. This here is my forth attempt over the better part of the last year. Hope to finish soon... Thanks for checking out my Etch A Sketch art!

A couple Wilburys, George Harrison and Roy Orbison

George Harrison


(Click to enlarge)

I bought the Martin Scorsese documentary dvd about George Harrison, which was fantastic of course, so I thought etching the cover would make for a fun sketch.

Roy Orbison

Roy Orbison is one of my all time favorites. Here he is on top of a copy of his video anthology DVD, which rules. Thanks for checking out my Etch A Sketch art! Visit again soon for something new or check out my other pages online for things that might not appear here...

Lana Del Rey

"Born To Die" cover art portrait sketch. I like the album, really good for a while. Not every track is great but some definitely are. Nice to listen to on occasion..

Emily Haines of Metric

I got the new Metric album the other day and got the idea to sketch Emily Haines because Metric has a lot of awesome songs. The etch came out all right, but I know I could do better if I tried again... (sad emoticon)

Candy Art Portrait (Thom Yorke, of Radiohead)


(Click to enlarge)

2000 M&M's, Skittles and Almond Joy Pieces painstakingly placed to create a mosaic of Radiohead frontman, Thom Yorke. This is a project I've wanted to try for a long time and it's way more difficult than expected. I thought it would create itself but it didn't. This Thom Yorke art is dedicated to my Radiohead loving friend, Rick. Thanks for checking out my art!

Facebook Etch #52: Allison


(Click to enlarge)

Been practicing portrait work. This is my artist friend Allison, painting just outside the frame. This sketch was done on an old full-sized green Etch-a-Sketch. The older units are a lot less precise and this one's lines would fade if you didn't retrace everything.
