I feel really foolish not knowing who Lupencia is.

lupencia


thanks to these questions, perhaps you'll know her better

Yay! Can't wait for this next installment of Chatting With Chelly.

yeah except shes so rarely on here we may never get these answers

Hurray for more Coffee Talk!

wulla, i actually contacted her via other means because i had the same thought

normally i wouldn't do that, but i wanted to give her the chance to at least consider answering


Y'ALL NEED TO ASK QUESTIONS TOOO

chelly, you should post all of the links to the interviews you've done on your sidebar!

wait what's going on?!

dear lupencia,
do you want to see a movie with me tonight?

haha okay, it's there now. special thanks to squints for that title that i have liked since the first time she typed it.

chatting w/ chelly!!!! Haha!!

day bump

chelly, you need to have a special picture of yourself for each installment of "chatting with chelly" in which you are holding a big mug of coffee

lupencia: do you prefer coffee, tea, or some other non-caffeinated beverage?

haha, maybe some one could draw me one. there's enough pictures of me floating around already. :D

LUPENCIA - approximately how many threadless shirts do you own? how were you introduced to this place? what is your secret to visiting the blogs, but not living here? Cotton or polyester?

lupencia!!!! what time is our date?!?!

i'll make a "chatting with chelly" image later today :)

aw, thanks that would be a very generous thing for you to do
you're the bestest

'Chell Me Something"

^eeep, a contender!

I would dearly like to see your purchase once you have done your thing with it.

of course of course. as soon as i get more frames everyone is getting pictures of my walls. i am full of the excitement!

hmmm i got word there would be answers here tonight, but maybe that was in a time portal

LUPENCIA, do you own a time machine and when are you going with it?

lol! now your pic is gonna work perfectly for your blog forum :D

wow oh dear I'm not so good at this, talking about myself and all that...
Hii Chelly!! thanks for asking, so let's see, I hope this makes sense:

do you save the pictures from the product gallery of the people who bought your shirt?

Hehe I would feel a bit stalkery (is that a word?) doing that, but I do like to look at them from time to time, it's a strange feeling seeing people that are thousands of miles away wearing something that's so close to my mind and heart.

so, i hear you are a (please fit yourself into one random category and answer accordingly). i know nothing about that. how's that work as far as your art is concerned?

atheist? no wait, hermit? I guess I'm not a very social person, I have few friends and I tend to live mostly inside my head. I used to read a lot when I was little (I still do but not as much as I would like) and fantasy has always been a refuge, so I guess I take a lot of that into my work.

could you recommend your favorite meal?

I have many favorites, I love sushi, weird melon-flavored japanese candy (I eat too much candy), and a sort of soup tipical of my country called ajiaco. But I'm not sure I'd recommend it...

what is your cult going to be called?

Wait, I thought I was in one already...

how much time do you find you generally spend on a design?

I'm really slow, and I'm not very good drawing directly on the computer, so I spend hours with my pencil doodling stuff until something interesting comes up, it usually takes four to five days, about two if I don't get distracted.

what do you personally feel is your strongest tee design to date?

I've only been printed once, so Only in dreams it is. It felt special from the beggining.

you have amazingly dreamy designs that extend beyond the tee medium. what art form do you find to be the most fun form of expression?

thank you :) I love my pencil and most of all my acrylics but I don't have the space to work with them all the time, so the computer is my best friend at the moment.

what would you like to ask the ppl who vote on your designs?

I would like to know what the criteria is when it comes to voting. In average scores are so low, even for designs that work and have so much time put into them (not mine, I mean in general) that sometimes it's just hard to understand.

your themes seem to dwell around the magic of womanhood. based on that fact, what music do you recommend i listen to next?

eh mm, well, one of my favorite singers is Nina Simone, you probably know her, but anyway, she was amazing.

what makes you shake your head?

In general? Well, violence, I guess (real, not fiction). Physical or psychological, specially if it comes from some kind of prejudice, and I hate that it's like a virus, I feel violent when I see it, don't know if you know what I mean...

most importanly, what maks you shake your rumpah?

hehm a lot of stuff, I love old swing music, but I mostly listen to classic rock & roll (beatles, kinks), daft punk, franz ferdinand, supergrass, weezer, radiohead, the strokes and the like...

do you prefer coffee, tea, or some other non-caffeinated beverage?

Tea!! My whole family is addicted to coffee and they always make it just for them, I feel so ignored drinking my lonely cup of tea...

approximately how many threadless shirts do you own? how were you introduced to this place? what is your secret to visiting the blogs, but not living here? Cotton or polyester?

I now own 6 shirts which for me is quite a lot heheh, and I've known threadless for a while now (2004 I think?) I actually submitted once years ago, but it was truly horrible eek. The secret is that I have a very short attention span, so I couldn't stay even if I wanted to. Oh, and cotton.

Jubs!! Tomorrow, pick me up at 7? Want to see 300?? I would probably just laugh through the whole thing thanks to Olli's blog anyway...

aaand that's it.

yay!

cool blog!

OH COOL...i just found the other interviews!

*goes off to read them all

one more question ahhhhh

yes I do! but it looks like a cardboard box so no one else knows about it, and I like to travel to the middle ages to get away from this capitalist society... :P

wow, lupencia, that was fun! i ate hot tamales and i hope you didn't mind the spicy breath. personally, i feel like if i knew you i would have a friend-crush and maybe smile at you a lot but not say anything. anyhow, thank you so much for taking the time to answer these questions, as i'm sure it wasn't as easy as it looks.

:D

hahaha lovely. my son has a similar time machine that is too small for anyone but him.

very interesting and great blog indeed.

i love chelly & lupencia, thanks for the interview!

this is my favorite thing on threadless! thanks for the interview chelz!

ahh that's so cute!

Thanks for asking them questions, it was fun! I'm glad I got to know you people, you are all so sweet and cool... I really like this place *insert corny emoticon here*

another great read! yay

bump for day crowd

huzzah for Chattin' with Chelly!

where is lupencia located in the world anyhow? anyone know?

yay!

And I also wanted to know that, Chelly

where is she located? she is located in the seat next to me at the movie theater.

300 it is! i've been waiting to see that for a while now. popcorn is on me as long as you try and keep your laughs to a whisper laugh.

popcorn! I'll be quiet, I promise :)

(when I'm not at the movie theater I'm usually located here)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LUPENCIA!!!!!
