"Well hello there, my name is Lars Erik Robinson, my company is Lars Arts, All Around Art-tainment is my slogan. And well, how did I become an artist? That's an interesting story. Actually believe it or not, I believe when I was like twelve years old, I used to borrow baking paper from my mom's kitchen. And I traced my favorite characters from comic books that I liked, and I'm not ashamed to say it, that's how I learned how to become an artist, I traced from other artists, I learned from other artists, and I still do. I look at - I go to conventions where other artists do the same thing I do, I look and learn from that, and evolve from it. And I create my own art, for example, and just by observing and learning from that. And after that I used to be a graffiti artist when I was a teenager over in Sweden, and learned how - learned from that how to draw really quick. From what I was doing illegally, and I'm not ashamed to say that either because that's part of my history. I went to art school for four years and after that I just observed the world around me and observed everything. And just enjoy art, and just always still try to find ways to be interested in anything that's around me. I hope that gives you a little bit of understanding of how to become an artist, and you have to - your heart has to be in it. Thank you so much."
