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.

i finally started actually painting the new series for the small works show at scad! did these two last night during the so you think you can dance finale and the martha stewart apprentice. they're really crappy cameraphone photos, so bear with me until i get em scanned in for reals, but it's exciting that they're turning out as wackily retarded as they were in my head when i came up with this shit...

did you watch so you think you can dance? what's with the judge who keep going "WOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!"??? i bet she used to do aerobics at the y in oshkosh. just woo it baby, just woo it. much as i hate to admit it i kinda liked that show, and i bet johnny castle would've had the time of his life if he coulda showed off his pachanga! except that they do the pachanga every year and this year he probably wants to do something different... like maybe to switch things up he'll sleep with a high school girl named baby.

and the martha stewart apprentice... it just doesn't have as much bite as the donald's. i still like it and watch like a rabid raving lunatic, though. last night they had to design and sell wedding cakes at some wedding expo - the winning team sold five cakes and brought in somewhere around $3000. that's right, THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS. for five cakes. do wedding cakes seriously cost that much? WHO PAYS SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR A FUCKING CAKE?!!? you know you can make a cake for like five bucks from a box at the store, right? and making one from scratch, it's probably right around there, too. what. the. hell.

oh wait, i was gonna show you pics of a couple of new paintings! sorry about that, got a bit sidetracked. check em out - i'd love to tell you what the other ten images are, but you're gonna have to wait and see, mutual fundas!

Steph those paintings are OFF THE HOOK! SO damn funny and DEFINITELY your style.
I had no idea the Piven and the Ferrell would be making appearances....sweet-ass sweet.
P.S.-Johnny Castle called: He wants you to help pay for his knocked up girlfriend's abortion. Or at least double for her in an upcoming dance contest.
Interested?

Although, apple gets in a knife fight with robert downey jr would've been edgier, i think it works with will ferrell! ps-i joined the group, give me 200 points!!!!! one of those paintings must accompany apple takes a stroll!
