when i can, i'll design a BANNER/FLIER for FREE. if you read my myspace story, you'll understand why this is important to me. anyway, check my status below. does it say, "now accepting?" if so, read the following to know what to do next:
i picked 3 of you instead of 2, only because i can't pick any more - or i couldn't keep myself from starving. be on the look out for another opportunity for you all soon!! note: check back here to see what lythen, stefani, brendan and i came up with.
movie criminals that steal your soul.
movie clip: harry potter
movie criminals that sniff your hair.
movie clip: charlie's angels
open mind. open heart. easily inspired. need to create. encourager but not a flatterer. intuitive. absolutely in love with life's many PERSPECTIVES. a go-getter. anticipating life's next punchline. my dog says hi.banana and mayonnaise. unretired myspace addict.
"show me your friends and i'll tell you who you are."
i like giving people a chance to be a friend - because everyone (including me) has baggage. kinda like that thing teachers did: "you start off with an A" deal. hence, its pretty easy for me to call you a friend. all it takes is a simple hello. by the second time we meet, if by some odd reason we remember each other's name, then, i consider you a friend of mine. seriously.
i am the type of person who likes looking into your eyes in conversation. i was not always like this. it was at some random point in my adolescent days, that i enjoyed this kind of connection. some find this situation with me to be a little uncomforable...lol. don't worry...i'm not in love with you :)
i just like the purity of seeing people. i like to give people my undivided attention when i look at you because you are all experts at living to me and have experiences i wanna learn from.
anyone who isn't afraid to take a chance. anyone who doesn't believe in wasted time. anyone whose passion includes bringing positivity to people's dreams.
to be creative for the rest of my life // to be creative with the rest of my life
i get this question a lot and it confuses me as to what they're referring to. because for some reason, my brain follows that question with the quote, "...some kind of monster." i don't know if i heard it from a movie...eh.
anyway, i am filipina with a tiny bit of spaniard.
no. just computer-geeky enough to catch people's attention.
yes i do. but i only have like 30 people on my BL. i don't give out my AIM SN.
if you see me on, feel free to say hello (sn: claire_e).
really? hit refresh and check again. as one myspace friend put it, "i see you're not offline again."
surprisingly, all my work is myspace-related.
by this, if you mean whether or not i'm two people, the answer is yes i'm not two people.
no, i was a dancer/choreographer and just got into designing around the time i started myspace.
i enjoy hearing from you guys and i respond to as much as i can. please be patient w/ me and refrain from negative comments if i haven't replied to you yet. if there's anything i will NEVER do is reply to you with words of negativity. i counter negativity w/ silence. that's how i am in real life so i won't be any different here. im not gonna be bolder here just because its the internet and i can't see your face. thanks to those who've been understanding.
DID YOU GO TO SCHOOL FOR WHAT YOU DO?
i did not take any classes for this stuff. not to say you shouldn't, i just didn't. i'm highly experimental and that seems to be enough. what i didn't learn in school, i made up for in my own mistakes...hehe. but if someone out there wants to mentor or fine-tune me, im down :)
i have an OVERLY-indulgent attitude when it comes to creativity. i sometimes confuse this passion for my heartbeat. that would probably explain why it seems that i'm all over the place. in fact, i wouldn't be able to tell you exactly what i want to be in this life because i do not want to focus everything i am towards one ideal. i don't intend to be one thing. i just wanna keep moving.
HOW ARE YOU?
i am fine.
waste of money.
water and soggy graham crackers.
lots of plants.
salt and vinegar.
chicken carbonara from quizno's.
non-enthusiasm.
my grey sweatshirts. so comfy.
a deserted island. so that when asked the question, "if you were on a deserted island..." would no longer be hypothetical. i can say, "been there. done that."
don't really pay attention to brand names.
anywhere as long as i have my laptop, guitar and camera.
3pm because i get to see ellen degeneres dance. never fails to brighten my afternoon.
made and born at geary boulevard in San Francisco.
many. i've never not had a pet. i need them because they remind me of all that is good in the world. i envy their hearts.
i don't share new and exciting news unless i know that you know me enough not to take it as bragging.
nope. i am not good with kids because i don't know what to do with them when they cry. i tend to offer them candy even when i don't have any.
not exactly a holiday, but: election day. it riles me up.
creating something from new things i've learned.
people who keep me passionate.
keeping people passionate.

ALL WORK BY CLAIRE_E for THE LABCATZ
THIS IS MY MYSPACE STORY...YUP I HAVE ONE
one day, and i made a promise to follow our dreams. in this promise we each wrote where we saw ourselves in 5 years. i wrote: help 10 people accomplish their dreams. i struggled with the number before committing to it because i thought, how am i ever gonna pull that off when dreams are such big things to one person let alone 10?
in 2004, one of them said, "why don't you join myspace?" i was like, "no." then i did anyway because i remembered the time the words "i don't need email" came from my mouth. started checking out people's profiles and thought it was cool that you could customize your profile by learning those code thingies. using what little photoshop knowledge i developed from trying to help my friends so they could concentrate on their music, and with no html knowledge, i started by learning the IMG SRC code and was so proud of myself when the link actually worked. i went bananas i say.
so it began. this intense curiosity with design. i started looking up band postings of gigs on their bulletins and pretended like they actually asked me to design a flier for them. if I liked it enough, id send it to them. sometimes but not always, they'd use it.
out of the blue, messages me and asks if i can help him make his page like how i had mine. one night he told me that i should keep going with this myspace designing stuff cuz he had a good feeling about it. so serious was he that he even came up with this whole business plan for me to think about.
later, says, "check this person out on myspace...her outlook reminds me of you only you're more inward." so i read through her profile and think she is fascinating. i send her a message to tell her so. suddenly finding some guts somewhere, i say 'wth' and tell her in a p.s. email, "im just gonna go ahead and design a page for you and if you like it, you can use it."
loved it. this was in 2005.
and the rest is...now. for as long as ive made designing a part of my life, ive been on myspace. and in a sense, if you've been keeping up with me on here, you have been a part of it. a special thanks to the aforementioned - you should know that you are everything this page is.
so, i couldn't say my dream is to design for the rest of my life because its not. design has become this way i thankfully stumbled upon to help friends explain their dreams. that by putting it in pretty-picture form, whoever sees it will understand it and give them a chance.
check out some of my favorite creations since joining myspace. just mouse-over the thumbnails at the top of my page.
