Hi Imgurians! I've missed you. I promise I haven't been loafing around - I've got a buncha fun stories to share with you about my recent adventures, but first I wanted to fill you all in on the exciting news that I'm gonna be in a magazine! Weeee! As an added bonus it's one I've heard of too!
Here's the online article I mentioned in this video:
https://people.com/etch-a-sketch-artist-sells-portraits-for-over-1k-and-been-noticed-by-stars-like-miles-teller-and-kelly-clarkson-exclusive-11772990
2025 has been a pretty amazing year for me. Thank you all for your amazing support, and if you do wind up nabbing the magazine I'd love to know! Feel free to also let me know if you happen to read the article while in the waiting room at the dentist or something too.

Fun fact: some unused footage for this video also included heart glasses (and showed a better view of my neat rug)

Middle of the magazine? So you'll be an etch-a-centerfold?

Our Etch-a-Sketch angel is a centerfold!
Kevinbfree
Oh, hell yes! Congratulations! I'm definitely buying it. Is there some way I might get it autographed?
pikajane
ooh! fun question - I haven't thought that far yet but I might offer a couple autographed copies for sale on my webstore once they are released! Might save the cost in having one shipped to me. Otherwise hopefully there will be opportunities to bump into me in-person on my future travels!
Kevinbfree
Perfect!
