C.E.S. - Birth of Ideas


+++ More Details (add to my Artist Bio) ~~~

 All listed in order of "birth".
1. Written Workxz (Since 1985 or earlier; est. 1999)
* My poetry, stories, theories, and more started in Elementary school. 
* My appreciation and use has grown ever since, as you will see below.
+ History:
   Started in grade school, and has never ceased to be a passion. Has become an integral part of a major project that has grown to have 2 versions (my game). Despite having to take the "back burner" from time to time for other projects, I am always willing to write.
 =
2. My 'O.A.D.' (Since 1985; est. 1996 or earlier)
  (a.k.a. Overall Appearance Designing)
* My "passion for fashion" started in Elementary school, as I liked to change appearances so as to not "fit in" with the crowd. I liked the originality and the creative processes.
* Now my '4-Step Process' to prepare for "public" appearances, activities/ events, and holidays.
Includes: 
   Alterations, co-ordinations, loaning (sometimes giving), and preparations assistance throughout the
 years - styles vary.

Artist Bio 1 - Chris S.

(~*~)
Hello,
My name is Chris E. Sweitzer (a.k.a. Chris S./ C.E.S.).
Welcome to my "creative" resume!
I figure it's easier to get to know me this way: through my thoughts and activities.
Please note that links are throughout; and more may be added, or they may be changed/ updated.
=
 
ABOUT ME
1.
I can work with others: 
~ I am community driven, and can be family friendly/ a "social butterfly".
~ I look to have 'fun with family & friends (fwff)', and inspire others to find their "hidden talents"/ shine.
~ I have shared, helped, and volunteered; with community activities, committees, events, and projects.
~ I enjoy sharing positive community information, inspiration/ motivation, and otherwise.
More Information:
Inspiration [(in the Morning)]

[NEED to separate splash pages into: volunteering/ events, my crafts/ events otherwise, alt.mod, &???]
+

2. I can work alone:
~ I have 3 major projects/ "business initiatives" that are collaborative. I am attempting to keep them organized, and running; while continually growing/ contributing to them. Projects
~ I have unique styles within the darker goth/ punk genres of activities/ events, alternative modeling/ overall appearance designing (O.A.D.), and written workxz.
 
More Information:
A Request from a muse, A BIG Q from a friend, and more...

+ 
3. I can grow:
Creativity is my "passion" in Life,
for everything I do! Especially within design aspects of fashion, Halloween, photography, technology, variety (in general), and much more.
~ I am an innovational and motivated artist, within the Waterloo Region of Ontario.
~ I have been accused of being ahead of my time throughout my Life, as I have many ideas/ projects.
Review example:
"You have an amazing eye for color and detail, and you are able to combine various elements and mediums in one project to create something that is completely original. Your creativity and originality are also prevalent in the way you dress from your own hair and make up styles, to the clothing you design and wear. You're also extremely innovative, always thinking outside the box, and inspiring others to expand their own perspectives. Your artwork pushes the envelope; it’s thought provoking, spirited, fearless, pure as in Raw and unlimited." 
~ Some like this version of my "short" bio better:
Creativity is my realm... 
and "beauty in all things" 
can be a "guiding light".
Inspirations surround me, 
like a warm blanket on a stormy winter night.
Materials & mediums are my assistants, 
to pass on creations 
throughout my existence.
Whether they come from 
my passion for fashion, arts & crafts, 
Halloween/ love for our dead,
or simply collaborating with others.
LOVE for the creative process itself, 
is my driver.
And I am a mere passenger with ideas...
along for the ride!!! (*@^@*)
