Another space on the internet with Misha collins refs and giant naked fleshy men. (trend hos ho!)

With summer just about on the verge of it's bow to fall but still too soon for a deathknell leaves the average self-important jackass writing about the time with only the opportunity for slight reflection but immediate prediction-ish.

So somehow out of the blue we got a table for otakon 2013 Last minute and somehow we got our gusto together enough to make a fairly decent showing of art. Check it out:





Then there was a bit of the ol highfive city marathon followed by driving home followed by
the gishwhes 2013 (William Shatner's favorite cult) that dragged us along for some last minute breakneck social awkward fun. The highlights:


So now with said new seasons looming and new jobs impending
we got some more stuff on the way but no use announcing anything
until it's sea-worthy let alone ready for launch.









Butts.

happy albeit jaded camperings.

Afternoon, and as all the letters strung together in a desperate attempt to keep your interest in this little blog go this one has a few of those in news form. First big sloppy thanks to everyone who came out to show support and have a beer or four with us this weekend at the Burren for Artbeat. Serious it made our time spent worth it. Even if it wasn't a success selling wise hey we might be back for the halloween show. But that's a tentative threat to be decided upon later.


Next up at the etsy store is the Crow's Nest book. 28 pages of original art and prose slapped together in a ham fist sandwich of imagery worderyness. Also there are some leftovers from Slam this weekend such as 5 separate original pieces of Dan's koi design artwork. Each piece of 8"x10" vellum bristol is it's own spray paint version of this design, interested?


Now for the sad news. In an all too wait what type of call our entry for the deadpool contest at welovefine was canned. "was not the direction the licensors wanted to go with the character"

Well there's our image again, so I guess I don't know deadpool as much as I thought I did. Or some company that owns Marvel might be watering down your favorite deathdealing merc with a mouth into a kid friendly marketing territory. You have been warned. Uh oh. 
 Last as the summer drags on here's some top notch art from Sarah that carries that idea.


More arting later.

Low budget Orbiting Cats and avoiding the obvious Slampigs reference.

Before you search engine anything off this blog in that friday afternoon haze of "is it the weekend yet?" enjoy some art, news good and ill and wisdom from us your friendly visual conjurors and practitioners of the dark farts.

It's that kind of week. So yes Once again please hit up the Art Beat tomorrow in Davis sq particularly the bar known as the Burren for our humble little table weighed down with artistic goodies. If nothing else it's a bar so rage on. Here's some last minute samplers of some patchery and stampery beany is up to.

Final product will be turquoise on neon pink canvas patch so if there ever was something your thrash jacket was missing well I'd say this is probably at the top of the list. To continue her theme of felines with space program capabilities here are some doodles. Also doodles from Dan, free art if you can name the artwork he was riffing on.






See you in Cambridge, or not because whatever doesn't sell will be in the store monday! Oh well.

Artbeatdown

REDUNDANCY IN NATURE!


Howdy y'all.
Next weekend in Somerville, in the fine watering hole known as The Burren, we will be slinging
art from 12 - 4 pm. Come on down and buy something. We will have a lot of non-fanart art. Just
in case you wondering what other manifestations roll forth from our basement dwelling.
Otherwise a ton of t-shirts, maybe a new one and variants including possibly tote bags.
Expect more last minute art and art bloggery to pop up before Saturday.

Coming up in a few weeks we have one version of our deadpool pic going gladiator
in an art destruction derby over at at WeLoveFine. Here is the latest version we submitted.
July 20th or so the contest should be going up so give us a vote. Please.

All doodles lead to strange places.

Or just a lack of a real updates for the phantom audience we're pretty good at rock(salt)ing.
Got a few break neck last minute white knuckle projects due next week so that info should be viewable for next week.

Up this week in the store is the until now unavailable Sherlock and Watson piece and next week should see a listing for the crow's nest once the price logistics are figured out.
But yeah the artsy and the fartsy from the last month or so of bored transit and transit boredom, something completely different here we go now get gone. Proving the MBTA might possibly be good for something after all if not getting you someplace broke before midnite or late. j/k! LOLZ! But I digress.








 Yes the last piece is the floodgate latch riddle of what's up next for Holy Calamity Studios.
Stay tuned next week.

shutupmmer. No slacking despite outputicus mediocremus.

Not as much to report this week as the next round of projects get underway. Dan's getting his musical project back on the rails finally now that most of his organs and body can withstand booze and stage fright. Beany's busy getting all of her post con commissions done and out to respective customers. Sorry for the speedy turnarounds. But enough behind the scenes battles right now it's all about
prose and mistaken poetry. That's right the kneejerk book we've been battling away at:



Crow's Nest Volume 1:
A Low Fi Prose Mixtape
Black and White
28 Pages
$3.00 (includes shipping)
(pictures are of the first home print,
finals will be better quality)
 
Featuring all brandnew fine art by Holy Calamity Studios and Writings by our good friend Elle Darling and shoddy word soups by Dan. These should be printed by next week (we hope?)
and up in our new slightly more organized store. A larger full color edition might surface for amazon kindle probably later this summer depending on how easy that is.

But yes THE STORE!, in all of it's more glorious and far more accessible glory! The previously sold out popular CatBug Prints? Not anymore! Tshirts? Indeed! Posters? Heck Yeah! There will old and new prints and posters going up for sale spontaneously so check back. Now back to our basement lair to hopefully create even more art. Tshirts and comics? I hope so too.

POST AB POST of redundancy

Here's some last minute nonsense that made the cut for Anime Boston 2013:



Well now if that's so over what's next? We've got a few projects that will slowly start to manifest as
we currently battle some post con cold. Immune systems love sleep deprivation, a diet of jerky, chocolate and first hand mbta fumes. To the fedex printshop employees who perform their job with the attention to detail of a renaissance architect- thank you you are invaluable and may you go on to better things. Also to the fedex print shop employees of boston who steal our money on a regular basis for performing subpar or incomplete work nothing personal- but eat my turds on some spinach, hearts and kisses.

Hey kids!
Now look we know we had a problem with the shop on our website, Hell the whole website may have been Super Highway Information Trainwreck., but don't worry! You know who is respectable and runs a clean organized website surrounded by white picket fences of secure? ETSY! Yes we now have our tshirts and some prints listed through HERE and will surely be adding one offs and other goodies in the future. Last, thanks to all of our friends from this weekend check their websites out listed in the column to the left thank you.

NEW TSHIRTS! NEW ART! NEW DANGER! (AB 2013)

and the medical disaster Dan, and yes our newest Tshirt Design. Sleeping Dragon will be available first at AB then by monday will be available on the website. Black Speedball ink on White Gildan 5000 Tshirts. $15.

If you attend these said conventions swing by and say hi. There will be a bit more new art outside of what's posted here. Other wise if you reside in the Boston area other ventures will be happening in June. More on that later.  More last minute nonsense for where we are almost at for this.
