Etch A Coaster

Saturday, July 31, 2010 3:45 PM

On most days, our employees are attending to their daily duties - cleaning midways, running rides, serving food and helping guests pick the perfect souvenir.

But many of our employees have hidden talents. Take Jane for example. Jane worked as a sweep up until this past week.



Jane's a bit of an artist and is studying at the American Academy of Art in Chicago. What is she studying exactly?

Etch A Sketch art. Yes. Etch A Sketch. The fun, sandy art pads with the white knobs that most of us played with as a kid. You design, you draw then you shake it up and do it all over again.

Jane's been honing her artistic skills on the device since she was 4. And obviously, that's a lot of practice from then to now.

That brings us to her last-minute project on her last day of work a few days ago. That would be this:



Yeah. That's the CP skyline on three mini Etch A Sketch's. Seriously. The meticulous detail is amazing. Oh, and by the way, she did this before her shift. All three in a matter of a few hours.

Here's a closer look at the detail:



Jane is off to Los Angeles where she'll participate in an internship to boost her skills on the E A S. Pretty sweet, huh?

Perhaps some of her work will turn up at Knott's Berry Farm? We'll see!

Good luck, Jane - and thanks for your service at CP!
