Wendell Pierce: Courage Has No Color
Stunning Images From Artists Of The Black Power Movement
Carmelo Anthony recently hooked up with Etch-a-Sketch artist extraordinaire George Vlosich to create a one of kind portrait on the classic toy. Last year, Vlosich did an Etch-a-Sketch portrait of LeBron James and captured the entire process on video.
This time, the portrait of Melo is much more complex and it took over 25 hours to create. Of course KeyBank took the opportunity to sponsor the creation, but Anthony was giddy as ever about the results.
"I'm really glad to be able to work with KeyBank on this project," Anthony said. "George's portrait is amazing. I've never seen an Etch A Sketch like that before. I can't believe he took the time to do it!"

That was amazing. Not just the portrait but the fact that you could make circles with an Etch-A-Sketch. I never could.
