While I was cracking myself up designing Valentine patterns last week, I took it way over the edge with these peeps. Meet the Cupid Crew.
That's right. A super hero like crew bringing Love to those in need. Do they all have names and jobs? Yes. Will I tell them to you now, so you can wish that the Cupid Crew existed in some form today other than being on your computer monitor? Yes. Yes I will.
First we have Louis. Louis is a cupid-like upper level management flying baby. He's the Boss keeping this team together. Making sure all match making and what have you is being taken care of in an orderly loving fashion. Although, and I think it's pretty obvious. Louis has a tendency to loose his temper.
Next up we have Jemaine. Jemaine, is a globe trotting bear like guy. He is responsible for match making. He intuitively circles the globe finding peeps ready for the Cupid Crew. He loves geography.
Jemaine works very Closely with Art. Art is trained in the fantastical ancient ways of the Cupid in Star Crossed Archery. It's actually only a six-week course at the CCC (cupid community college) where you receive a certificate, but enrollment is low and he was the top of his class. After Jemaine has located and points out potential CA's (cupid associates), Art goes to work shooting them with his "Arrows of Adoration" (patent still pending).
Courtney is a charismatic girl that strong armed her way into the Cupid Crew. She was very vocal about the fact that "THERE ARE NOT PRESENTLY ANY WOMEN ON THE CUPID CREW". "I'M SURE ALL YOUR MATCHES ARE GOING TO WORK OUT GREAT..."
Death Stare.
Courtney is in charge of Dates, secret admirers, arts and crafts, party planning, and whatever other responsibility she feels like deeming her own.
Then there is Waltz. He's kind of a Koala/Peep secretary with part time Cupid Crew responsibilities in charge of dance lessons. Don't worry, he's edging his way up the Cupid Crew ladder.
Not pictured above, but always present is Eversal. He's the Lawyer. Always wanting everyone to fill out forms, and insisting on being present at all Cupid Crew meetings. He started as an Intern before he passed the bar exam. He's lucky he got a pair of Cupid Crew shoes.
So to sum it up, the Cupid Crew is rag-tag group of loving do-gooders. They try their darndest to bring love to the citizens of the world in need of just that.
And for those of you wondering. The Cupid Crews shoes, are not available anywhere for purchase. Kind of like how we all wanted Team Zissou shoes, but that wasn't happening.
so. I hope you can get a kick, out of me getting a kick out of a couple of hours goofing around. Wouldn't they make a great little comic book? Trading cards? What do you think? Who is your favorite?
