CLEVELAND, April 27 (UPI) -- A Cleveland artist said he spent more than 80 hours creating a portrait of British Prince William and fiancee Kate Middleton on an Etch A Sketch.

George Vlosich III, whose skills with the children's toy have earned him appearances on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" and "Oprah," said he started by sketching the couple on paper then spent more than 80 hours recreating the image using the dual knobs of the Etch A Sketch, WEWS-TV, Cleveland, reported Wednesday.

Vlosich said he hopes to one day get the chance to present his creation to the royal couple in person.
