All About Serf!
To my very core I am an artist, derived I'm sure from being a deep thinker.
Writer
I'm a writer, both fiction and editorial, including poetry as the need strikes. Writing is a love craft for me that somehow suspends time, challenging my mind to effectively and eloquently communicate. Kind of sick huh? HEHE Check out some of my articles on Indie artists at www.BandChi.com
Web Designer
Graphic arts are also close to my heart. I've been designing and building web sites for the past ten years and I love it mostly for the creative and artistic challenges. I concentrate on layout and presentation. In all I do you might call me a Marketing Executive; though I'm a long way from being any kind of a corporate dude. LOL
Rock Guitarist
My heart and soul belong to my band, Scratch Addict . My roots are in the Baltimore/Washington DC area, but for the past few months I've been living in Sanford, Florida (love the weather) while I record our first studio project. Hopes are to have that released early 2009.
Music
Music is something I love, but honestly, constantly playing and recording my own songs and working with BandChi, I hear so much stuff I tend to prefer silence when I can get it. My tastes range from the hard and heavy to funky and classical. Hands down though, you'll most likely catch me jammin' out to Disturbed, Metallica, or Slayer, if not Scratch Addict .
Career
Meanwhile, trying to make somewhat of a living, I operate BandChi.com which is an eZine of sorts. The project started as an online mechanism for Indie bands to post and sell tickets to their shows. It has expanded into a full scale PR and Marketing service for Indie artists. We are now BandChi Productions and moving quickly towards artist promotion. It's exciting turning a simple idea into a profitable dream (though the dream is still in progress at the moment). Do drop by and see the site at www.BandChi.com
Personally
I'm generally a gentle person, polite, considerate and trusting to a flaw. That's quite a contrast compared to my extreme points of view; warped some might say. I just consider myself a realist. I don't flinch at much and something sick will make me laugh before something silly. I have a big heart but I believe in 'Cowboy Law'.
Following My Dreams
I work hard, play hard and do my best to enjoy it all. It's taken me a long time to find myself, who I want to be rather than who the world would like me to be. I'm happy with myself that way. And though I may not find all the success I seek, I will in the very least have enjoyed the journey and pass knowing I followed my dreams.
Peace - Serf ~
