      Thanks for visiting, glad you like the site. The drawings are done directly on the computer with a mouse – I use my right hand – which is weird because I’m left-handed… hence the name of the blog. The lettering is a typeface I created of my own handwriting, which is really handy (pardon the pun) for changing wording at the last minute – which I do more often than I should.

    Reminiscent of Hugh MacLeod’s Gaping Void. My favorite is the dinosaur and the meteor.

    Creative – wacky – brilliantly talented – empathetic – generous — you must be one of MY campadres! (so if you don’t already have ADD, I make you an honorary member of our club).

    Start looking for links from ADDandSoMuchMore dot com — and once my readers have seen your name & work a couple of times I’ll add your blog to the few I list on my sidebar. There are so MANY concepts in the neurodiversity field that your work illustrates beautifully and my readers will LOVE you.

    THANK YOU for being willing to share!
