Famed Etch A Sketch Artist Reveals Portrait of President Elect Barack Obama
Famed Etch A Sketch artist Tim George last night unveiled his much-anticipated rendering of the next President of the United States, Barack Obama on election night, 2008. The latest work of art will join George's 43 other presidential Etch A Sketch masterpieces in an exhibit to be displayed at the Ohio Statehouse.

Known as Mr. Etch A Sketch, Tim George gained popularity as a result of his unparalleled ability to create intricate sketches on the classic drawing toy which uses two knobs to control a single line on a screen. In advance of the election day results, George prepared a likeness of both Senators Barack Obama and John McCain - one of which to be added to his historical collection. The display also featured drawings of the White House, U.S. Capitol Building, Mount Rushmore, Lady Liberty, Lincoln Memorial, Jefferson Memorial, Independence Hall and the Ohio Statehouse.
