Etch A Sketch Art and Classic Toys
June 16, 2007
We happened upon this great ETCH-A-SKETCH art on RainyBayArt.com and just had to share it, since we are in the toy business. This artist is really good with Etch A Sketch art and here is one interesting question we read on his FAQ page:
“Where do you find Etch-a-Sketches these days?”
“I have powerful connections with Santa’s elves, who manufacture them by hand and deliver them to key drop-off points for me. These drop-off locations include: toy stores, department stores, Fred Meyer, etc. Apparently Ohio Arts doesn’t do a good job with their marketing, because a lot of people aren’t aware that you can still buy Etch-a-Sketches, exactly the same as the ones you grew up with, just about anywhere.”
Classic retro toys are still around and as popular as ever. Toys such as Slinky, Hula Hoops and Silly Putty, Radio Flyer Red Wagons and Wooden Blocks can be found in many specialty toystores today. People marvel that the classic toys are still around, and everyone enjoys taking a moment to slip back into childhood memories.
The artist’s site is www.rainybayart.com and he does sell Etch-A-Sketch art too, which he says he makes permanent (so you can’t shake it to erase it!). Check out his website to see how he does it.
