Kircaldy

Since my life is largely defined by what I spend my time doing, here are the basic occupations:
Most of my time is spent in graphic design. This is how I keep a roof over my head, cute shoes on my feet, and food in the pet bowls. I work about 60 hours a week right now doing web and print design. I'm all booked up with paying jobs, and all backed up with pro-bono work, so best not to ask right now unless we're talking the distant future.
I spend a criminally disproportionate amount of time on making music, hands down my only passion. I'm in a new band, The Black Pill , in which I sing and co-write songs. I also play the piano in the studio, but am rarely feeling plucky enough to drag it out to shows. My former project, Lunasect , is well worth checking out as well. I majored in music technology, which is basically a music degree with a bunch of extra tech-related coursework thrown in. Before I worked in the band, I'd more or less avoided collaborative work like the plague, spending more time on short electro-acoustic compositions. I always had more of an affinity with pop and rock conventions than the academics were comfortable with, and so many footprints in academia that it intimidated the rock musicians. My old professors sort of equate a trained and talented musician's playing in a rock band with driving a cab, but then again I sort of equate being a professor of music with working in a daycare, so it all works out.
Somewhere in there I'm trying to keep one foot in my boutique, Kircaldy (click the graphic), which I used to run full-time, but until human cloning takes off with a bullet, has been relegated to hobby status. :( I'm working on a small fashion collection for the fall, as well as some new accessories. They should be ready to launch soon. I'm mainly selling to stores and boutiques right now, but I'm trying to get the website updated for direct orders.
