#andre cassagnes

Today would be the 91st birthday of André Cassaagnes, the inventor of the Etch A Sketch. André passed away in 2013. He was also a well-known kitemaker. I owe so much to this man who understood the value of play. My career is thanks to him, but it’s so much more than that. His toy inspired me to create in my youth, and helped me to become the artist that I am today. May he rest in peace
