In 1963, Art made a clay version of the peacock for NBC TV that was used as an opening for the Dinah Shore Show, which was sponsored by Chevrolet. "We made an opening that was like Gumbasia for a couple of shows. When the producer and the advertising agency people saw the opening of the animated peacock, they said, 'This is much more fascinating than the show!' " |

| The sound of peacock was developed by Michael Boddicker, who was doing the sound and music for Art not only on The Clay Peacock, but on Mandala as well. Art said he had recorded several Platimum Records, and that he was a genius. | |||||||||||||||||||

(Incidentally, some of you Baby Boomers out there may remember the Dinah Shore Show Easter Special, in which Dinah danced with a big bunny. Art and his studio crew were the ones who created the special effect by animating the 3-foot tall, foam rubber rabbit, and using blue screen technique, to make it appear as though it were dancing with Dinah.)
