Ecto sketch

I was recently chatting with someone who knows I do etch-a-sketches. There were a lot of really cool ideas being kicked around for custom size etch-a-sketches like portrait orientation or over-sized panoramic size. Or a digital etch-a-sketch would be really cool. Of course you'd still use the knobs, but you wouldn't have the trouble an analog mechanism has. I see lots of potential. I may have to write a letter to the company. [hey OhioArt (makers of Etch-a-Sketch) get your shit together]
Also some really good ideas for subject matter were discussed. I'm thinking favorite movie poster replications, internet memes, or whatever, monsters, dinosaurs. Gallery show of exclusively etch-a-sketch work planned for 2012.
In the meantime here's another one of my old scans of past etch-a-sketching. Its from one of the coolest/most fucked up animes: Ninja Scroll. Enjoy.

I'll include a link to view the clip of this scene. Its pretty bad-ass.
