"Hey welcome look at me. My name is Lars Erik Robinson and my company is Lars Arts, All Around Artainment. I deal with anything that has to do with art and anything that has to do with entertainment and I am having a little fun here with some clay. I have done some figure modeling, it is not one of my main things but I'm having a little fun here. I took one of my manikins out of my studio and using a little clay, modeling clay. It is usually really good for simple claymation characters that they have on here. You can use all different kind of mediums and they have other stuff that is tighter but I just though I would play around with this here today and have this surfer chick here, some crazy hairdo matching her dress, her bikini and maybe she needs a surf board, huh guys? So she is holding a surf board here. You can have a lot of fun using clay and if you can imagine me finishing this you can cover her whole body up with some different color there. So this stuff is very loose, very wobbly and it is a bending surf board. It is a dolly S kind of bending on you like the clock of dolly. Well anyway that gives you a little insight of how to use it. I basically just took and rolled these things together like this, did the hair if you can imagine hair like that. We can have one and her hair is yellow and the other side is yellow too. She has, she is a punk surfer chick. Thank you guys for joining me and a little experiment with some clay. Enjoy."
