the hearts and laserbeams blog!

recently blogger decided we can't publish my blog to my own website anymore so here we are! pardon the dust, and please visit us online at www.heartsandlaserbeams.com!

hearts and laserbeams is the wacky good-times art and design by me, steph calvert. i team up with robots, cupcakes, and stick people to show people art isn’t all about seriousness, missing ears, and deep thoughts; it can actually be tons of fun.

so in this dream i had last night, i did take a job as a character at disneyland.

but in my dream disneyland was trying something new, and all the characters now rolled through the park on space-age longboard-style skateboards. the only thing space-age about em, really, was i think they were made of metal and they were very shiny. so i guess they were more retro-futuristic-looking than actual space age... they didn't have rockets on em or hovercraft abilities or espresso machine hookups or anything like that.

anyways, michelle was helping train me to be a character, and i couldn't skateboard to save my life. which isn't a whole lot different from me in real life... my skating experience goes about as far as me sitting on one and rolling down the driveway when i was like 10. and it was raining in my dream, and there was this asian gang on supernice schwinn bicycles following me and my sister, laughing their asses off at how terrible i was doing.

my alarm woke me up while i was attempting to skateboard uphill.

so i get that i had the dream because i'm probably working at d-land until i find a fulltime gig, and michelle being there makes sense because she's in charge of hiring and training and all that. and maybe my trying to skateboard uphill (or skateboard at all, for that matter) symbolizes the frustrations with getting shit together to move and things not going as smoothly as i'd like or something else very deep and meaningful, because i'm a very deep and meaningful kind of girl. burp.

but i have no idea where the heckling kids on bikes came from, and i have no idea why disneyland would ever think making the characters go on set on freaking skateboards was a good idea. best interpretation wins fifty points and the old scrubbie i found in the back of my cupboard last night while packing.
