GENE RANDALL, CNN ANCHOR: Ever heard of Etch A Sketch? If not, here is Anne Mcdermott in Los Angeles.</s>ANNE MCDERMOTT, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Remember your first Etch A Sketch? They came out in 1960, and you can still get them in red or sparkly green, and they can still drive you a little crazy, but kids love them, even if the dogs they draw don't exactly match the dogs that posed for their portraits. But take a look at these Etch A Sketches: Ali, Ripken, the Mayberry gang, the White House gang.</s>GEORGE VLOSICH, ARTIST: Hopefully, it's hanging in the Oval Office.</s>MCDERMOTT: That's George Vlosich, a 20-year-old Etch A Sketch artist, and it all began about 10 years when his family was traveling to Washington,</s>D.C. VLOSICH: I was bored in the back seat of the car on vacation, and just picked one up and did a picture of the U.S. Capitol building.</s>MCDERMOTT: And he's rarely had one out of his hands since. His Secret? Well, it helps to be a good artist, and it helps to have patience. He puts in about 40-50 hours on every picture. Oh, and early on, he learned not to accidentally drop or shake his canvas, and now he makes sure he doesn't erase any art.</s>BLASIC: I remove the powder. It's aluminum powder and it sticks to the glass.</s>MCDERMOTT: These days the young man from Ohio is enrolled in -- well, what do you think? -- making his mom proud.</s>UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: And on top of it he's a good kid.</s>MCDERMOTT: Vlosich's latest project: Ah, here comes Mr. Jordan.
