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.

guess what i like pancakes!

ok, just in case you haven't heard...

i'm obsessed with nannerpuss.

have you seen nannerpuss? he was the star of a dennys superbowl ad, and he is AWESOME. you can see for yourself if you click on this link. you'll recognize him on the page as the yellow octopus-like chap sitting jauntily atop a pile of delicious pancakes! deeeeeelicious i tell you!

my favorite part of the commercial, is if you watch real close he actually rips one of his eyes off half-way through. THAT is how committed he is to selling you hot tasty dennys breakfasts!

anyhow, i am cleaning up for an open house this morning, sat down for what was supposed to be five minutes to answer a couple of emails, and ended up making this:



the question for you the public: what do you think of nannerpuss and wouldn't you like to see more of him? comments please!

TOTALLY AWESOME UPDATE!! oh and also you know i'm totally entering my pic in this contest!

i'm enjoying the nannerpuss inspired art phenomenon. although i prefer waffles! i would also like to see him minus an eye. and also maybe with an eyepatch... like nannerpuss the true hollywood story.

I think that Nannerpuss is sending the wrong message. Do we really need ANOTHER celebrity role model telling kids that it's okay to dance on their pancakes and tear their faces apart?

My heart goes out to the nanner. He is already visually challenged but to then be tied down to someone who obviously keeps yanking his strings...breaks my heart. Does Mrs. Butterworth know about this atrocity???

Love it! Nannerpuss is very loved at our house. You never know when one of us will just break out singing his song. I would love to see more of him!

I would assume it is, but is this image trademarked?

the nannerpuss artwork on this blog post is copyright hearts and laserbeams, yes. it's essentially fan art of the nannerpus character created by dennys.
