George Vlosich III, the Ohio-based advertising guy who may be the preiminent artist in the world in his medium, has immortalized another Baltimore sports hero.

Vlosich -- who works in Etch-a-Sketch and has had a replica of one of his creations featuring Cal Ripken and Lou Gehrig on exhibit at the ESPN Zone at the Inner Harbor -- has created an action portrait of Denver Nuggets' star Carmelo Anthony, who grew up in Baltimore and went to Towson Catholic.

The artwork of Anthony is reminiscent of a similar portrait of Cleveland Cavalier LeBron James last year. The making of the James portrait was made into a video with rap music (written by Vlosich's gather, George Jr.) and became a YouTube sensation. We featured it on this blog and it is currently in the running for best sports video of the year in YouTube voting. This is where the ballots are being cast.

The Vlosiches flew to Denver in late January to make the Etch-a-Sketch presentation to Anthony during a Nuggets' game; refrigerator magnets of the portrait were given to fans, and the video was shown at halftime on giant TVs. For your viewing pleasure, below is Melo in Etch-a-Sketch. For more info on George Vlosich III, click here.
