ETCH-A-SKETCH
Tim George, aka "Mr. Etch A Sketch" -- a 57-year-old security guard at a Downtown bank and a resident of the Clintonville neighborhood on the North Side. His motto: "Shake my hand, not my work." Not to worry. Each artwork, made by manipulating the buttons on the toy to create a continuous line, is secure: The knobs have been glued in place and the Etch A Sketch container "drained" of excess powder, thus freezing the image. George found his calling 20 years ago when he wanted to entertain his then-4-year-old daughter in the hospital. He avoided creating portraits for years because of the difficulties in sketching eyes and hair. "If I make a mistake, I have to turn it upside down and shake it and start over," he said. "There's no going back once I start."
