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.

hearts and laserbeams on tv! WHAT!!?!?!

as you may or may not know, if you're ever in georgia you can pop into shopScad (in both savannah and atlanta!) and pick up hearts and laserbeams gifties in person.

amy from shopscad shared a video on facebook today of a news bit that was filmed in the atlanta shopscad, and i am alllll over it! how exciting! as you watch it, keep an eye out for our plate designs, glue gun tee, and in the background of one shot you can see our tiny magnet set tins!

friday morning commute playlist...

ok so admittedly the ipod brought up stinkers i passed over this morning on the way to work, but it DID come up with some really good stuff! if you haven't heard some of these songs you should download em stat!

"triple track" by dance hall crashers

"a kiss is not a contract" by flight of the conchords

"faithfully" by journey

"rang dang" by bloodhound gang

"opposites attract" by paula abdul (this is awesome, family guy completely altered this song for me. now when i sing along and get to the chorus instead of singing "cuz opposites attract" i sing "cuz i'm dressed like a cat".)

"gett off" by prince

"all my rowdy friends have settled down" by hank willams jr. (i started cracking up bad when this song came up directly after "gett off"... cuz that one's a song about one night stands and whatnot... and this one's about how none of the dude's friends go out and party anymore.)

"the new you" by the vandals

"coming clean" by green day (that dookie cd will always hold a special place in my heart... it marked me at 17 just starting to listen to kroq and more rock and punk and blah blah blah. i still love dookie. shut up.)

"uptown girl" by me first and the gimmie gimmies (ok check it out, billy joel came up earlier in the mix but i forwarded past it because it was too sleepy. then the me first and the gimmie gimmies comes on and i'm all YEAHHHHHH BILLY JOEL! KICKASS!!)

"waiting" by cake (cake is awesome awesome rainy day music. if it's pouring when i head home i'm just gonna set the ipod to shuffle through all my cake cds and it's gonna rock my socks off)

the end!
