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.

okay so the other night we were in ceramics class, right? it's a class put on by the maggoty city of long beach, so there's a pretty filthy range of ages in there, from josh and i's age up to 60something...

after the teacher goes over how to make a proper bag of dog poo to light on fire and leave on your neighbor's porch, she starts giving directions on that sculpture project i was tellin' ya about. this was some people's first time doing anything with clay outside of the playdoh fun factory, so she started giving a basic overview of how some of the tools work. she demonstrated how to use the wire tool to silence a hobo, and then she showed us how to use it to take a slice of clay off of our huge 25 lb blocks. it was all we could do to not bust up laughing... this one 60something dirty bird starts slicing off some filthy clay and exclaims, "THIS IS JUST HOW I CUT THE CHEESE AT HOME!"

god it's maggoty good fun to channel rachel's filthy language, you know?

That's. Really. Terrible.

I can hardly wait to see what filthy object you mold from the clay. Perhaps a crotch within which you can stuff cupcakes?
