I was given permission by 
to etch their wonderful photograph:
This piece was well over a year in the making and I am thrilled with how it turned out! Countless hours were poured into this. The hardest part was those swirly spires!
Like many other Americans, I was introduced to this architectural masterpiece by playing Tetris.

HOW THE FUCK DO YOU MAKE THIS
Many hours of patient knob turning!!!
YOU HAVE ACHIEVED GREATNESS NOW GO REST OUR HERO
One look and i said "holy shit! aint no damn way!!"
Impressive.
That looks awesome! This must take forever to do!
Over a year in the making, according to the description.
Wow, it must have been incredibly frustrating to make. I can't even draw a stickman on those.
Wonderful work, so many details... I can't believe it!

I love the architectural pieces!
how do you not accidentally shake it and erase it all! That what was difficult for me with echasketchs because you'd make a pic you'd like and one little bump and it could disappear!!! Cudos for mastering such an awesome art syle!!!
Thank you! I have been very careful with this piece, only working on it while it was sitting on a desk. I drained it of its powder afterwards. Now I usually drain my etch a sketches before I start a piece so I won't have to worry about it erasing before I finish it 
Oh wow, just one more reason to love etchasketch! Amazing work!
Thanks!
....holy wow...
As someone who never mastered the etch-a-sketch, I am in awe! Congratulations on your DD! 
Thank you!
This is... amazing. One question: How many hours have you spent etching stuff? Seriously, i want to know.
Oh man...I cannot even count the hours I've poured into etch a sketching. I've been laying with one for 18 years. So I'd say well over a thousand hours--perhaps even thousands!
O_o
My all time best etch was a face... and that's just because I got pissed and started randomly moving it and it came out looking like a really messed up face.
