LEISURE/INTEREST
One of my greatest passions in life is graphic art, as I have put together a portfolio of my work in blog format (http://smashedmelon.blogspot.com/) which includes small graphic designs with each post that I have personally planned and created. I am currently working on a graphic design T-shirt project and have 3 approved, voted for and therefore published designs on Qwertee.com. In the future my greatest ambition is to set up my own graphic design company, working on numerous projects such as T-shirts, web design, banners, posters, business cards and a whole variety of graphics applications.
Enjoy both playing and listening to music of many genres. I play guitar, both acoustic and electric, keyboards, synthesizers (Korg EMX) and sing. I have played live countless times such as; Battle of the Bands, Chauncy Rocks, Rock in the Priory and volunteered to play at local events, for example at St Mary’s Church in Ware. My interest in music extends to seeing live bands at every given opportunity and actively seek new, unsigned groups to support.
