Over the last 15 years, Rick has more than earned the moniker Mr Etch A Sketch. He’s created hundreds of detailed pictures using these tiny toys and their fiddly horizontal and vertical controls.

Visit his site to see some amazing etch-a-sketches - the Simpsons family, Star Wars characters and even the Mona Lisa. The site links to an Etch a Sketch simulator where you can try your own hand to see how difficult it is.

Rick has re-ignited the interest in etch-a-sketch - a toy which dates back to the 60s and which some regard as the word’s first low tech laptop. It never crashes and is very easy to re-boot - just pick it up and shake.
