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 hate that company policy that states that if you don't work your full shift the day before and the day after a paid day off, you don't get paid for that paid day off. because i am dying here, people. how i made it to work i dont know, but whatever bug i caught that made me sleep and hurt and whine for 16 hours yesterday is kicking my ass and making my typing full of typos to go back and fix. i want to just lay my head down on my keyboard and sleep until 3:30.

merry christmas to all my internet pals, and all my friends who i only get to see on here because you're too damn far away. hope your holidays are special, and that you enjoy this xmas card that josh and i made together. me, i'm gonna go have a beer, because i just finished that massive painting project like ten minutes ago. between that and recovering from the awesomeness of the vandals show last night, my brain is officially fried.

cheers and happy holidays from josh and steph!

okay, so i found out recently that michelle's friend jeff's band raymond and scum may be playing a show in madison, wisconsin sometime in the near future, right? so today i've been putting together a list of things they have to go check out while they're there if they have the time. making this list has made me more than a little nostalgic for good times with good peeps in that city.

then i have to remind myself that actually living in wisconsin blows.

but if you do ever find yourself in wisconsin for a stretch, here's a list of things you have to check out:

culvers
white castle
the safe house
karaoke kid
monty's blue plate diner

and i can't wait for 3pm. happy vandals winter formal day!

my little studio is covered in the present i'm making for everyone for xmas this year and i love it. i can't wait to mail em out.

okay just to make sure you know i'm actually doing something and not slacking off on blogging, here's what i've been working on:





9 more to go!

i still haven't decided whether i love or hate this cow shake ad. part of me thinks it's kinda funny. part of me thinks it's kinda dumb. and all of me wants a shake and/or malt... but not from carls, since the last time i went there they told michelle and i that the only difference between the shake and the malt was the malt had more sugar.

isn't the malted milk in a malt what makes it different from a milkshake?

i mean, i'm not questioning the girl who works behind the counter... i'm sure they have a very extensive training seminar on shakes vs. malts, and she probably will be fired for divulging this sensitive company secret to us. and for this, i salute her.

Oh no that is NOT another carol sketch on snl right now!

okay so i've been swamped with work lately and didn't have time for a new illustration friday again this week. but i do have this painting of a tooth for that freelance project to show ya, and i think that fits the small theme pretty well. cuz... you know... teeth are small.

unless you're thinking of shark teeth; some of those fuckers are huge and scary.



can i share the other one for the freelance project that i'm sending out today, too? okay good. check it out:



2 down, 22 to go!
