[TH3BEAST512]

Right when i heard the song i was done.

[jantheempress]

@TH3BEAST512 Sorry Beast, had to do an audio swap on this one

[SeanC309]

This looks amazing :) some good skills.

This sounds amazingly familiar, like 90% of other youtube vids argh!

But yeah, well done. Was it sped up? because I noticed your reflection twitching at an abnormally fast rate? Or maybe you have a twitch and I'm being insensitive :/

[jantheempress]

@SeanC309 Thanks Sean :D I was using an etch-a-sketch found at a garage sale. It didn't always work right (probably why they wanted to sell LOL) so some parts were slow going. Yep, I speeded it up and fortunately no twitch.  If you look at the bottom of the drawing, you'll notice the line across is not straight, it's slightly diagonal because of the glitch

[jantheempress]

@jantheempress And glitch rhymes with twitch hahaha!

[bloodmonk1234]

noooooooooooooooooooo not againnnnnnn

[cbrb40]

You made that with an etch-a-skectch? You're are really awesome Jan!! The only thing I ever did on these toys was make a mess of lines going every which way. lol How did you do that? You're gifted for sure! :))

[jantheempress]

Thanks Rick :) I'm still figuring out how to approach drawing with this thing!

[cbrb40]

Hah,oh you figured it out alright sweet Jan! ;)) I never saw anyone draw anything like this on a Sketch pad like that. :) You're so cool! You're a true artist! :))

[halpittaway]

very nice jan!

HEY WE HAVE THE PARTY GIG 4 U ON THE August..

call me k

h

[jantheempress]

Thanks!  Will do Hal :)

[surfcottage]

Wow that is amazing!.... I need to find mine... im sure its in the county dump somewhere :)xoxo

[jantheempress]

haha maybe it's the one I found at the garage sale!

[taizyc]

so cool... everytime i see a drawing it reminds me of my Xperience with dropping arts in h.school. i didn't have problems doing maths&science or arts&design but i had to chose one or the other(at some point). i didn't like 2 bring my art equipments to school- they were heavy&bulky & i had to catch the public transport to school, i decided to chose the "easier way(math & sc)" although i know i was passionate about drawing and was always at the top of my Arts class. *sighs*

[jantheempress]

Bummer! Don't give up on your creative stuff even if the art program was dumped! There's lots of great instructional stuff on the web :D

[mysteryglo]

Wow Jan, that was fantastic!!

[jantheempress]

:D Thanks Judy!

[SirKevinMartin]

I love New York! <3 ETCHASKETCHING is hard!

[jantheempress]

Yeah SirKevie etchasketching takes some patience for sure!

[dagocleo]

So Impresive !!! I had an Etch-a-Sketch but the best I could do was write ephemeral poems with it... fantastic the way you master it !!! take care !!!

[jantheempress]

that's cool dagocleo! I haven't tried ephemeral poems yet!

[RABOD]

That is incredibly amazing! Great job! The most I could ever do with an Etch-a-Sketh is draw crooked boxes and crappy boxy letters... and you drew the freakin' Statue of Liberty. I'll just, uh... go crawl under a rock, now.

[jantheempress]

LOL thanks RABOD :)

[drummergirll]

WOW THAT IS REALLY RATHER GOOD! yOU GOT HER FACE JUST NICELY!

[jantheempress]

Thanks drummergirl :) I think I could do better than this but I've only done a couple of drawings with it and am still getting used to it!

[j0ames]

Okay. You surpass yourself with each video! WOW

[jantheempress]

Thanks j0ames!

[wdciii]

Fantastic! You don't get a chance to correct anything with that little device.....COOL!

-Dennis

[jantheempress]

Thanks Dennis :)

[Blargaldalien]

Wow,doing that really requires fixing one's mind on the goal!

[jantheempress]

So true Blargal!

[dawaa33]

NICE !!! how long did it take to do that ??

[trafficdreamer]

very coOL

[jantheempress]

Thanks trafficdreamer! :D

[daligoddess2006]

Show off. *laughs* Just kidding. I had a baby sitter one time who drew a beautiful unicorn on my kid's etch-a-sketch and I put it on the shelf and wouldn't let them play with it for a very long time. I think people who can draw like this, on this toy, are simply amazing! You rock!

[jantheempress]

Ohhh a unicorn! Cool! I love unicorns! Thanks daligoddess!

[FlowerClown]

That is a real Ohio Art

[jantheempress]

Thanks Flower :) How R ya doing? Haven't checked my facebook much lately...

[FlowerClown]

We are all doing just fine. Millie is growing up fast. She is over 8 months old now. Summer has been very busy and we are planning a trip to Thailand / Nepal early 2010. If I don't c u on FB I'll see you here.

[jantheempress]

Coolness! Good to know all is well :) Have a fun trip and hug yer little sweetie for me! My little sweetie is an adult now!! Dang how the time flies!

[PuppyZwolle]

Ambidexterity paying off. ;^)

She looks very good. Will you be doing YTbers portraits on that one too?

[jantheempress]

Thanks Puppy, now there's a thought!

[somechick73]

Makes me wish I still had my etch a sketch.

[jantheempress]

It's fun to play with :)

[LeSaMilano]

I saw an art installation once where the artist did several very detailed pieces in a series - they also had taken out the powder from inside (I think) and so the designs were more or less permanent.

you are so good!

[jantheempress]

Thanks LeSa! Cool! I wonder how they did that?? They must have used some sort of sealant

[ChineseCalligraphy]

Wow! HAH!

Yeah, I used to have an Etch-A-Sketch when I was 11. This is great to see someone use an EtchaSketch like this.

I wonder who invented it and what they would thinkif they saw it.

Didnt the EtchaSketch come out in about ....... Hmmm..... 1971?

Excelling work. I dont think theres another video like this one in the entire world. :D

5 Stars with nine spikes each. :o)

[LeSaMilano]

must have come out a while before that because I had one as a child in the early sixties :)

[jantheempress]

Thanks CC :) This is from wikipedia; The Etch A Sketch toy was invented in the late 1950s by French electrician André Cassagnes. He originally called it Telecran. The Ohio Art Company launched the toy in the US in 1960. Etch a Sketch was manufactured in Bryan, Ohio

[Johannady]

how does that thing work??? @-@

[jantheempress]

The little white knobs can be turned to create horizontal & vertical lines that move a stylus through aluminum powder creating the drawing

[Vfms22]

wow that's truly breath taking, i can hardly manage a diagonal line in my etch-a-sketch, its beautiful, i hope u continue to do what you do because you are truly talented =D

[jantheempress]

Thanks Vrms22 :)  Yeah, diagonal lines take some patience!

[NYCity99]

Another medium you have conquered.

Well done. Peace.

[jantheempress]

Thanks NYCity99!

[kalacaw]

This is the first time I've ever seen anybody do something this complex with an Etch-a-Sketch, and I am very impressed!

[jantheempress]

Thanks Kalacaw :) that's very encouraging! I'm new to this and with time I know I can do a much better job!

[dankitti]

Etch-A_Sketch drawing = awesomeness. <333

[jantheempress]

Thanks dankitti

[AsharyAsh]

I'm going to name the best three artists in the world:

Jan

Jan

and

Jan

[:)]

[Fidellio13]

Really?

I mean, she's good, but really?

Are you that artistically ignorant?

How about Escher, Dali, and Da Vinci? Lol, or any number of other artists who shaped a culture.

[jantheempress]

LOL I love Escher, Dali and DaVinci and more :) I love creativity in all of it's myriad forms. If people like my work too, that's okay. It doesn't mean they are forsaking the other Great artists of the world well known or otherwise.

[Fidellio13]

Hmm, after reading my earlier post again i kinda feel like a douche. I mean, i don't really take back anything i said, but i don't think i emphasized how great of an artist you are. No doubt you're fantastic, i don't think anyone can question that. =D

[jantheempress]

Thanks Fidellio, that's sweet :) Actually you got me thinking about Escher in particular...he's one of my favs and I thought it would be cool to etch-a-sketch one of his works! Mind you I'm just copying someone else who is fantastic, it''s just practice to get used to using this thingie!

[jantheempress]

Thanks Ericky :)

[thesmiths1013]

wow, amazing

[jantheempress]
