Working Etch-a-Sketch Costume Really Lets You Draw Boobies on This Guy
Posted by Matt Buchanan at 5:00 AM on November 11, 2008
I've never been a fan of billboard-type costumes—"I'm a lame YouTube video" or "I'm an iPhone"—but this giant Etch-a-Sketch costume is excellent. And it actually works. No, it's not filled with aluminium powder (that could get dicey). It simplifies the setup to using a marker and glass, but the complicated rod and wires setup to make it draw blotchy boobs and penises exactly like the one you had as a kid (but bigger, and on this dude) makes it plenty props-worthy. Check it out in action in the video below.
So, uh, what would you draw on this guy? [Instructables]

A waistline, I would draw a waistline.

Do you really want to draw boobies on that man? If the answer is yes, I suggest you re-evaluate your love life.

@Munch the BanNail: It's on the other side of the glass, I think.

It doesn't look like the marker will make it across his gut, though.

I would draw him a bath.

Sorry guys, couldn't think of any clever 'draw' or 'sketch' puns other than that.

well the guy could have at least drawn himself a better body. I mean the quality of the drawing is great, but did he really need to draw himself as a big fat guy with boobs?
I would have gone for a Michael Phelps body myself. Speedo included.

@kosikutioner: Does your insurance cover shaking this etch-a-sketch?

@Curves: My love life is that of a confused engineering student who actually has more female than male friends.
Why not go the immature-treatment- of-drunks way and draw penises on him?

More like stretch-a-sketch.
Must be an expansion pack...

Do any of our "Font Freaks" know what the "Etch A Sketch" font is? It's certainly iconic.

@kosikutioner: You have to turn him over and shake him, so it would be his health insurance that needs to be paid up.

Judging from that pic,I'm guessing drawing boobies (or a beer gut,for that matter) won't be necessary...
I think he left the 'R' off of the first word though.
